Why Kalorama?I love languages and words. I love exploring through words, and have a nerdy obsession with nuances of languages, especially those words without equivalents in English.
It was only natural that I use a word from another language to capture the essence of this website, and so I landed on Kalorama. Greek for "beautiful view", it pretty well sums up my thinking of this world we live in, and what learning provides for us in both the short and long-term. I'm not sure what the term for "Kalorama Long View" and "Kalorama Short View" might be, but I'm hoping one of my readers would be more than happy to enlighten me! (hint hint) The concept of Kalorama also includes the beautiful view of the potential that global competence holds for students and learners worldwide. Amazing, really. We have the tools, we have the "canvas", so pick up your brushes, and leave your mark, with your own style. Then, as with any masterpiece, feel free to share!
