Melanie and English teacher in Italy setup a blog for her students to let them communicate with other students across the world. She works at a technical high school and vocational school with 16-18 year olds that love computers and getting to know others. Bridging the Gap is what she called the blog because she wanted students to better understand the world and how others think about particular subjects. Students setup discussions about things that interest them and allow others to join and give their opinion.
