This document summarizes the progress of Todd's Global Postcard Swap project from December 2012 to February 2013. Students and teachers from countries around the world, including Australia, Russia, Spain, Romania, Greece, Germany, Taiwan, South Australia, Lithuania, and Ukraine have been exchanging postcards. The postcards and gifts sent between classes are displayed and students enjoy learning about each other's cultures and locations. The project has fostered international friendship and cultural understanding among the participating schools.

„ (….)
I love this little book that continues to grow. It looks like
Stephen/Australia and I had similar ideas for displaying
the cards (…) Just as a little story of coincidence, we have
been discussing the tilt of the earth's axis and its effects in
Science class which led us into a conversation about how
although it is winter here Australia is experiencing the
onset of summer. The very next day after this discussion we
received a post card from Stephen's class and it spoke
about the summer weather that they are experiencing. My
students loved it and thought that it was perfect timing.
