On Thursday April 18th, my second grade-group 2, had a chance to talk to Mrs.Kerian's second grade class from Iowa. We learnt a lot of new things and here you can see a few photos of our chat.

My 2nd graders, group 4, were very excited when I announced that on Thursday April 18th, we will be skyping with a class from London. This group of my second graders heard that other groups have had a chance to talk to some classes from the USA and Turkey, and were really happy when I told them it was their turn to have a skype lesson with Mrs. Stacey's class from http://www.debeauvoir.hackney.sch.uk/ - school in London. On Thursday, April 18th 2013. my 6th grade students and I tried out group Skype for the first time. We talked to our friends in Izmir, Turkey and our new friends from Durban, South Africa. However, we couldn't see Ms. Vosloo's class (in South Africa) as her Skype video wasn't working but we exchanged the questions that students prepared and I think we learned something new about how school life looks like in Turkey and South Africa. Today we had another chat with Turkey, but this time with 7th grade class from Eskisehir. Thanks to their school counselor Aylin Silig (read her blog here:http://benimegem.blogspot.com/ and their English teacher Cevher, my 6th grade students got the chance to learn something new about schooling in Turkey. We were specially honoured to be their first Skype friends.
Twitter proved to be a great tool to find a class of native speakers willing to help my students practice their English. Mr.Fritzky's 5th grade class from New Jersey even described the experience from their point of view on their class blog http://kidblog.org/MrFritzkysClass/ |
