On Friday, March 9th, students connected via Skype with students in Texas for what they call the BriarHill24HrWorld Tour. This is the 3rd year that Social Studies students have participated in their project, a fascinating ‘tour’ that takes their students around the world to connect with experts and other classmates around the world. Here is their blog and their 2018 schedule. What a great example of using technology to connect with others around the world.

Come to Mr. Martin’s room on Friday during recess from 10:30am – 10:45am to Skype with students in Texas who are doing a 24 hour Skype tour. They will attempt to make a call to seven people on seven different continents. They will have introductions, a short weather report, current event, and a quick conversation to learn about our school and Chennai. This is the 3rd year I have worked with this school. It’s a lot of fun! Bring your snack and come to 3126! H block students will join for the last 10 minutes of their conversation when their class begins.

I’d like to thank Luca, Christian, Vedha, Emi, Shandaneh, and Clara for participating in the Briar Hill 24 Hour World Tour on Friday, March 10, after school. It was a nice opportunity to learn about a public school in the United States (Texas) and for our students to share information about AISC. Here is a link to the blog for this project: BriarHill23hrWorldTour.

An exciting opportunity to available for you on Friday from 3:30pm – 4:00pm if you are interested in coming to my classroom to participate in the Briarhill 24 Hour World Tour. A school in Texas (USA) is doing a 24 hour Skype activity with teachers, students, and professionals around the world. It will be 4:00am their time and 3:30pm our time. A Google Form has been sent you with more information and a request for participation. This is optional, but I would love to have some students answer questions from their students. Please respond to the Google Form by Thursday at 3:30pm.
