Barbara Fri 13 Oct 2017 7:26PM

Hello Daisy, we wish you great holidays! We had a week off during the first week of October here in Norway.How old are your students? Do you have access to 15 computers? I find such sessions much more interesting than sessions during which there is only one computer and one projector. Have a great day!

B

Barbara Fri 13 Oct 2017 7:27PM

Daisy, are your students 13?

DP

Daisy Paul Sun 15 Oct 2017 2:30AM

*Hello Daisy, my students are 16-17 and 18. I did ask them whether they would like to run a session with students who are 13 and they said no. I am sorry. I have seen that Maria has students who are 14. That could be a perfect match.

Hi Barbara
I am Sorry!
At IFMG they have classes all day long and the only time I have with the proficient students is at lunch time from 11 to 1 (p.m) . They arrive at 7 in the morning and go home at 5 (p.m) They can communicate fluently in English. nine in the morning I can't group them because they are from different courses and different buildings. We have been working with the goals with the other groups too, but the other big groups cannot keep up conversations fluently.

Hi everyone
I am having problems in contacting people to interact. The students who are fluent to participate can interact only at lunch time.

I don't know if it is appropriate, but all my students are doing all the writing activities and I prepared this table informing some possibilities of Google hangout or skype sessions with Brazil. I put your time and ours in order to organize it.

There are some students who can introduce themselves and use English language at basic levels , some Trainees from Language teaching school (fluent) and 12 fluent students who can attend some of the meetings.

If youwant to be in contact with us send me your email so that I canshare the table at google docs to fill out.

I'm sorry but I don't have the class on Thursday, I can on Friday (11.15-12). Is that possible for you?

SB

Shirlene Bemfica Tue 14 Nov 2017 12:59AM

Yes I think it is possible. It will be 8 here, right?
My students are around 16 in this group. Can you lend me your email so that I can send you the link to the google meeting.
Our students can introduce themselves and ask some questions about their cities and countries.

Daisy Paul Sat 18 Nov 2017 7:58AM

Hi MariellaB
Monday 27 th 11.30 CET does not suit me because it would be 4pm in the evening for me.
My school timing is 8am to 2pm
May be if you could reschedule the time
Your 7.00 CET.would be 11.30am for me..if that s fine with you...

Hi, Daisy. My students are aged 15-16. Would it be possible to have a Skype session with yours on Wednesday the 29th? They are available from 8:20 to 9:20 CET which should be from 12:50 to 1:50 for you. Is that right? Would you be available?

Maria Rita Sat 18 Nov 2017 11:51AM

Hi, Daisy. I agree with you. They could start with introductions and information about themselves and then start to talk abou the Global Goals in general (what they think about what they have read and watched so far and what goals they care more about). I think we are going to work with only one computer because our school building is undergoing construction works and we have no IT rooms available at the moment. Would that be fine for you?

Hi Daisy, thanks for accepting. I just have to ask you to postpone it due to an event that was scheduled today for the whole school next week. Would it still be possible on December 13th?
The Skype address is: IIS G.Galilei - staff.
My students are 15 years old. As for the topics: - getting to know each other and the place where they live; - talking about the fact of being involved in the project; the goals they are most interested in. What do you think? Is that too much or is it ok?

DP

Daisy Paul Fri 1 Dec 2017 2:17AM

K

Katarzyna Mon 11 Dec 2017 3:41PM

Dear Elif, that's great. The time is perfect - because of the two-hour difference between Turkey and Poland. The only thing is we can't use Skype as the students have got chromebooks at school and Skype can't be installed on them. Instead we use Google Hangouts - possible on all devices. Hope you don't mind. Here is my gmail address: [email protected]

Hi Susan, would 12:30 (CST) on Feb. 28 work for you? Where is your school located? Thanks!!

Hi Susan,
I'm working to set up our Skype sessions for next week, and just wanted to make sure that 12:30 (CST) on Feb. 28th would work for you. We could that same time on March 1st, too, if that's easier. Just let me know. Thanks!

SW

Susan Wilson Wed 21 Feb 2018 7:57PM

Although either day still works, we have a different schedule on the 1st that would allow more time. We would need to begin at 10:40. On the 28th we would have about 1/2 an hour (class ends at 11:10 PST.

We are in Los Angeles, did I answer that email? Sorry. Also, what is your status on this project? We were working very hard on it, and did our own individual projects here but, due to time zones, were not able to skype with other schools. We have been doing other things, but can certainly return to it for the discussion. My class is Current Events so I have a lot of flexibility.

KA

Kayla Anderson Wed 21 Feb 2018 8:04PM

Mar. 1 at 10:40 PST (12:40 CST) would work well for us! Our students have chosen a Global Goal to focus on, wrote an expository paper on the problem they picked, are currently working in our community to help make an impact through volunteering, raising awareness, or donations. Next quarter they will write an argumentative paper trying to persuade others to join them in their endeavors. Next week they will spend time adding what they've learned to the Be the Change Slides for each Goal.
