On February 8th, 2015, I attended the Student Tech Conference and joined a discussing session. It was about a new organization called LumenED established by two college students. The session was instructive and inspired me. The session starts with the introduction of the organization. LumenED is dedicated to help improve the education quality in developing countries. They have set up a network terminal to store the teaching materials uploaded by USA elementary school teachers. Then the teachers in an Indian school are able to present them with the help of an orange projector invented by Lumen ED. The The organization also starts a program called Pen Pal Program. By connecting classrooms from different regions, students are able to learn from, interact with, and explore the similarities and differences between themselves and their peers. Students become more motivated in the classroom and better thinkers outside it. They are also given the chance to see a world outside of their classroom. This also promotes cultural learning. For example, students in U.S.A are capable of getting to know how markets in India are without having a 14-hour flight. After this introduction, it occurs to me that applying the Internet in the daily study life is a creative idea. Therefore, an idea of improving the peer-tutor program in our school gets to my mind. What if the peer-tutoring is also online? Create a website and allow people to ask questions there. I am excited about this idea now and is working on it. Affiliated is the website of LumenED. http://lumened.org/penpal.html
