Introduction

This blog post is about the challenges and advantages of working in the International Teen Life Project. So far, this is a fun project to work on, and there were many challenges that I faced.

Challenges

There are many challenges to working internationally. Some of them are:

The Internet- When you work internationally, you have to use the internet. Otherwise, the project would take a very long time.The internet can be very difficult at times, so that can be a challenge sometimes.

Feedback-Another challenge to working internationally is feedback. When you ask a question to someone you are working with internationally, you might not get feedback right away.

Timezone Difference-Also, timezones can make things difficult. I know that in the project I’m working on, students from Kuala Lumpur live in a 13-14 hour time difference. This means that it is harder to communicate with them.

Advantages

There are many advantages of working in a collaborative international group. Some of them are:

Different Points of View-When working internationally, you get many different points of view from all over the world.

Work with People from Around the World-Just the fact that you are working in a collaborative international group is an advantage itself.

 Conclusion

To conclude this blog post, I just want to say that the ITL Project has been a very fun project to work on, no matter what the challenges and advantages. Also, I want to say good luck to all the students and teachers participating in the International Teen Life Project.
