About Me

I enjoy doing linkups like this one as it is a easy way to learn about other cultures. They say there is no better way to learn than to learn from your peers. Using a virtual classroom and talking to students in other countries is more interesting and more valuable than any textbook!Georgia Year 10

Mystery SkypeIn one of our ICT lessons, Mrs. Murch set up a mystery Skype. We had no idea who we were linking up with, so we asked questions about where we thought she was from.

We found out that her name was Mariko Eguchi. She lives in the Shimane Prefecture, Japan. We found out that the school she was at only served one dish at their canteen- Curried Rice

Vesna & Ice29

Mariko gave us a virtual tour of the classroom that she was in. It was very different to the classroom that we were in, they had single file desks, and not much technology, only the things that she had brought in from home.

Linking up with Indonesia

In one of our ICT classes, we did a Mystery Skype.This means we didn't know who we were skyping, so we asked yes or no questions to find our where we are from.

We found out that the school had an orangutan sanctuary on the grounds. The students take care of the orangutans

I liked that they were from a different country. It was very interesting to learn a little about them and their culture.

Dharma & Lisa46

What we have learnt

We have also leant how to use Skype safely. We have added as many posts to our blogs a possible. When using Skype, we have leant how to communicate with a web camera. We have also learnt that when talking on Skype you have to speak clearly and loudly so the people on the other end can hear.

We are always interested in where people are from and their way of life. We love comparing what we do with other countries.
