Around the world with 80 schools is off!

Silvia Tolisano's project Around the World with 80 Schools is off. The first schools connected are from Florida and Nevada. They ran into some technical difficulties, "nonetheless, the kids were amazed and completely engaged to see, absorb and connect what they were hearing and seeing" as Silvia herself puts it. You can read her full blog post here.

We're looking forward to our turn and hoping the timezone difference doesn't raise too much havoc. 

O projecto de Silvia Tolisano Around the World with 80 Schools arrancou. As primeiras escolas a estabelecer ligação foram as da Florida e de Nevada. Embora tenham enfrentado algumas dificuldades técnicas "os alunos estavam maravilhados e completamente envolvidos a ver, a absorver e a estabelecer paralelos com o que estavam vendo e ouvindo", como descreve a própria Silvia no seu blog.

Estamos desejosos que seja a nossa vez e esperamos que a diferença no fuso horário não cause muitos problemas.
