Dear Katrina,

My name is Nellie Deutsch. I am an English teacher to speakers of Hebrew.
Last year I collaborated with a school in Montreal on an international
collaborative project that the Israeli Ministry of Education organized. Here
is a web page I developed on what we did:

Let me know if you are interested.

Sharing is caring.

Hello to all. My name is Katrina Hinson. I am an ABE/GED/AHS and ESL

teacher in Kinston, North Carolina, USA. I teach in a lab setting and I

have "Basic Skills" students who are working either on their Adult High

School Diploma or on their GED. My students range in age from 17-60,

single parents, retired persons, dislocated workers etc. I have a unique

mix. I have a few students who are also Advanced ESL students who are

working on improving their writing and speaking in addition to attaining

their GED. My Adult High School students are taking classes on

everything from Earth Science to British Literature.

I am interested in the virtual class project because I think it's a

great way to bring the world into my classroom and to take my students

out into the world. I participated in this project last year and I've

learned a lot from that adventure.

I am looking to be able to exchange emails with a class to help my

students work on their communication skills. I would like to be able to

discuss everyday topics that our students face - to help them realize

they are not alone. I would also like to be able to discuss books and or

movies that we've read/watched in class. Last year was my first year

participating and we had our ups and downs. I've learned a lot about how

 to make this work best I think ( I hope). I'd like to see the students

really dialogue back and forth as well as myself and the other

instructor. I'd like to learn about another culture even if it's

internal to the US - although, having a pen pal from another country

would be very nice too. Some of my students will never be able to travel

outside the US....and a virtual class exchange might be their only

invitation/exposure to other cultures/peoples outside their own

neighborhoods. 

*  why you are interested in the classroom/school virtual visit

project

*  who your students are

*  where you are located (country and city/town)

*  what kind of students you are looking for (if adults, what level 

of English or other skills,  or if kids, what grade level and level  

of English skills) and

*  if you know,  what you hope to do this year:

      *  have students exchange email

      *  discuss a movie both classes have watched or a book they

have  

both read

      *  describe their class/school and community

      *  discuss a certain topic of interest, or

* something else.

If you have participated in the past, in your introduction tell us  

what some of the highlights and  challenges were.

Regards,

Katrina L. Hinson
