Inspiring Openings: What our students say about the project

Our students from 1st year secondary share their expectations in regard to the collaborative writing project they have just started with students from a Dutch school. They reflect on it in Spanish, but the whole project is being carried out in English, second language for both groups of students.

Los alumnos de 1er. Año Sec, comparten sus expectativas respecto del proyecto colaborativo que inician con alumnos de una escuela holandesa. Si bien sus reflexiones son en español, el proyecto se desarrolla en inglés, idioma que ambos colegios enseñan como segunda lengua.

"Meet & Greet"... Netherlands!!!!

On June 19th we had an amazing experience: we shared a Mystery Hangout with students from a school in... Amsterdam!!! This time our group from 1st year Secondary school took part in this meeting.
We shared information about our countries, our languages, sports and even our favourite football fans song! We promised to get together again when the Dutch kids come back from their holidays. But seeing the kids enjoy this experience so much gave us a lot to think about... We had a chat with their teacher, Annelet, and... we will keep you posted!!!

El jueves 19 tuvimos la increíble experiencia de participar de un Mystery Hangout con alumnos de una escuela de... ¡¡Amsterdam!! Esta vez participaron del encuentro los chicos de 1er año de secundaria. 
Intercambiamos datos sobre nuestros países, idiomas, conocimientos de deportes y hasta cantitos de hinchada!!! Prometimos volver a encontrarnos cuando ellos regresen de sus vacaciones. Pero al ver tanto entusiasmo y alegría de parte de los dos grupos nos quedamos pensando cuántas puertas se nos abren con la tecnología... Lo conversamos con su maestra Annelet y... ¡vamos por más! Los mantendremos al tanto...
