Developing an international link
I’ve been challenged, as part of a whole school push, to develop international links within the department. As part of this push the school are running an international week in May when specific projects will take place. My plan is to involve my S1 in some local fieldwork and try and arrange an excahnge of findings with another school. A sort of sharing of perspectives. Having posted about the is on the SLN forum I got a lot of great suggestions and was pointed in the direction of the Global Classroom website. There is a lot of good information here which I will be trying to follow up in the next few days.
Installing the visitor map (it took me a while to figure that one out - I’m still struggling to install flickr, del.icio.us etc buttons, if anyone can offer some advise?!?) got me thinking if there is anybody out there reading this who might be interested in my little project. If so please get in touch

Me & my school are not candidates as a) I teach English & b) we’re in the Highlands (not exactly International). I do, however, have a Finnish friend who is interested in creating international links between schools. Interested? Let me know and I’ll let him know!

Hi Neil. Best of luck setting up an international link. Have you thought about using http://www.geogalot.net - there is possibilities for a link with a school in Tunisia, France or the Philippines at the minute. If you are interested please get in touch via http://www.geogalot.net or http://www.geographyalltheway.com.
Take care.
