Hi from Firhouse Community College




Hi to our friends in Spain, Poland, Italy and Finland from the Transition Year European Studies class.

THE FIRST VIDEOCONFERENCE


On Wednesday we experienced the first videoconference of our students!
The students, shy at the beginning, started to have fun and enjoy the possibility to see and to talk to their partners from schools abroad. They introduced themselves and said a few words about their interests and hobbies. It seems like a pretty good start...
