8th January,2012 The 1st birthday of HWLSkypers

Globetrotting Classrooms Via Skype

[|__HLWskypers__]  celebrates it’s first birthday

On the 8th of January, 2011 two high school teachers, Katherine Zablatnik from St.Veit a.d.Glan, Austria and Brad Peach from McKinney, Texas met via Skype. Generating ideas on how to promote building lifelong bridges between students and to enhance cross-cultural awareness via online became an intercultural challenge. A week later LaimaArdaviciene from Lithuania and Joe McNulty from Newton, Pennsylvania joined the two.

Eventually more and more ardent collaborators have joined the HLWskypers chat room group from all corners of the world ( [|__see map here__] ). Today 53 passionate HLWSkypers are employing videoconferencing as a teaching tool, immersing and focusing on mutual issues on a worldwide scale. Sharing and experimenting with the state-of-the-art web-tools, organising classes to take part on mutual concern, learning to crawl on this huge multi-cultural minefield and tailoring our (students and teachers) soft skills have become a part of the weekly schedule. Inviting experts and inspirational speakers into classrooms via Skype is the icing on the cake.

I’d like to express my gratitude to Skype and to all our HLWskpyers for enriching my life and my students’ life professionally and personally. Katherine Zablatnik, St. Veit a.d.
