Wichita Teacher Heading Half A World Away


A Wichita middle school teacher is preparing to head to the opposite side of the world.
Joe Dunn, a 7th grade world geography and Kansas history teacher at Wichita's Marshall Middle School, is heading to Bangladesh this weekend, where he'll spend two weeks teaching students there about American culture. He'll also provide long-distance lessons to his students back here in Wichita using blog posts and online videos.


Dunn says this is a valuable opportunity for his students, their parents and his fellow teachers.
His students have been exchanging cultural items such as candy and music with students in Bangladesh and in other countries for the entire school year.
