Next one …France!

Last Tuesday, we were talking with the students from France. The videoconference was good, but there were some bugs. Sometimes Czech and French students had small problem with English, but it is normal. Others were nervous because we had to speak only English. But I think that we found out very interesting things about French students and I hope that they did the same. During the interview we had an occasional help from Mr. Vavra (to whom we thank). We look forward to see the video from the French students soon.

Video conversation with Italy

Our second video conversation was with a school from Italy. Some of us were excited, but some were kinda nervous. When the conversation finally started, the Italian teacher introduced herself and the group of chosen students. It was a bit pity that they didn’t introduce themselves without any help from their teacher. It was also really difficult to even talk because of the accent and some technical imperfections, but for the first conversation it wasn’t bad. But every difficulty, when we found a common theme („surprisingly“ PC gaming) was irrelevant later on. The conversation went on and on until the end of the lesson stopped us. Then we just said goodbye and moved to another classroom for the next lesson.

The videoconference with Greece

Our first video conference was last Friday, we were talking with students from Greece. I think everybody were excited about it. It was good, but there were some technical problems on their side, so we didn´t understand everything they said. I hope that the next video conference will be without any problems, because i think everyone, who joined to this project want to talk a maybe get know some new friends from other country. I dont know what to say else. I think all of us enjoyed our video speech. And i hope everybody are looking forward to meeting these people personally. I think this project was a great idea, because the other students can get know something about our culture, we can get know something about their and of course everybody will be talking only in English so we can learn some new words from them. I´m really glad that our school is in this project.

The explanation of the name of the project:

Museum – The place where people collect valuable, interesting and rare items.

Video – Our museum however will be very special! It is going to be a video museum.

The Youth – Means that this time there are no great scientists working for this Museum! This time it is us, the young students from 5 different schools across the Europe. And we will fill up this museum from the youth point of view!

The main steps of the project in our school...

1. Getting known each others – videoconferences with our partners from Italy, Greece, France, Germany.

2. Creating the logo of the project (contest).

3. Forming teams which will be able to work independently on the production of the short videos.

4. Creating the videos, sharing it with partners (contest between partners)

5. Organized visits (students, teachers) during the whole project time (as we are Commenius project!).
