WELCOME! WILLKOMMEN! BOA VINDA 

Our  goal is to create a global classroom for teens to learn about different cultures from other teens around the world.   As of now we have students from Austria, Brazil and the United States participating and we are creating a safe, collaborative environment for them to communicate and learn from each other. This project will be self directed by the students - yet monitored and facilitated by the three classroom teachers.  Ultimately, our goal would be to have classrooms from all 7 continents participating.

There are pages set up where students from each country can simply add their input.  The pages are listed below under "Show Pages".  We might want to start by letting each class of students  post things about their country in general.  I also created pages for you to compare your hobbies and how you spend your free time,  compare what what the biggest problems are in your society, compare a typical day at school,  compare your favorite books- you can even post reviews,...you are welcome to add more topics  as we go.  Use this page as a log so we can know what other additions have been made.  This is going to be a fun, educational experience and I am excited to get to know you all!  

I will monitor this pretty closely to ensure the topics remain appropriate- and I may remove any material I deem questionable.  Wiki away!!!
