List of Participants in Sister Classes’ Project

Published by Dot MacKenzie at 7:36 pm under Sister Classes

Teachers and students from a variety of countries around the world are taking part in a sister classes’ project.  This was started in 2008 with a group from Kuwait, the U.S.A., Rumania, Hungary, Argentina, Venezuela and Brazil.  Since then, it has expanded to include people from other countries, e.g. Spain, Mexico and Russia.

Students are able to display their work online in the Student showcase blog.  Short movies, paragraphs, voice threads, flowgrams and more are displayed there.  Then anyone can post comments on their work and/or take part in student forums.

The project aims to develop the students’ knowledge of other countries and cultures, and their writing and computing skills.  Teachers taking part in the project also develop their computing skills.  It is an interesting way to show everyone we are all part of the global village.

Student Showcase comments.

If you don’t use an RSS feeder, you can subscribe to the posts by email, but have to go to the blog to do it. You’ll see info on the right side. However, you can’t subscribe to the Student Forum comments, so I would suggest that once a class has left comments there, teachers let the rest of us know.
