AllStars have done it again!

Last week we entertained a group of over 20 educators from the US.

Although we have told other groups what we do on our blog - this time we were able to show people. We moved into the Computer Lab and everyone sat at a computer so we could show the visitors our individual work.

First Timothy and Momtahina showed a presentation about the work we do on our blog and why we blog. Then the visitors walked around and spoke with us. Everyone was working on something different - such as “Samarost”, MissionMaker, Toondoo, Webbliworld, Voki, our individual blogs and Scratch. The visitors were very interested in our work, our explanations and the interactivity of what we were doing.

They asked about how long we spent in the computer room, they spoke about how they hadn’t seen a class using these applications to learn before - they were very friendly and kind - we loved their accents :)

Some of the AllStars helped to set up the morning tea for the visitors too. We got cups, bowls, folded serviettes, moved the chairs, got out the food and sorted the lollies, chips and drinks. Thank you people - the visitors had a wonderful morning tea. The visitors loved the ANZAC biscuits and cornflake cookies - yum, yum!

Ramiz and Yilmaz had the opportunity to guide the visitors around the school. They got to see what the other classes were doing - Mrs Jenkins’ class were using videos in their room - this was fun:)

We took lots of photos - thanks for visiting us - we all had a great time :)

Our visitors said that they would look up our blog when they returned home - let’s keep a look out for “red dots” from the US.
