Video-Conferencing Italy-Ireland

Last Tuesday, 16th of Dec 2008, at 12,15, our students met Irish´s pupils online by a video-conference. It was a wonderful experience for teachers who are always happy to meet up, and of course for our students.

The Irish children spoke a little Italian, and the Italians spoke English. All of them were very shy; they spoke about their towns and their favourite sport.

Time went on very quick so we are already waiting for the next video-conference that will be held in January.

CIAOOO!!! See you soon.

DAY 1: At St.Mary on the Hill Primary School

As you know we are in Cork for few days. We hope we can do a great job and our pupils have an incredible experience at the School. We have been picked up by Kevin (the principal) and another two teachers. They gave us a lift to the Hotel and we have arranged everthing asap to go out and have a nice lunch. So far, the experience is really nice as my pupils are under unlimited stimulus and some of them have asked few questions to the teachers, cavin crews, waiters etc... I am glad to see how they are facing to this new situation.
