Dear Janet Videoconferencers! If you are a teacher at a UK school (primary, secondary or special or FE) and you enjoy using video or web-conferencing in the classroom... please read on.You can use VC or web-conferencing to make a link with a partner school in order to see into another classroom... perhaps to bring language learning to life, discuss global citizenship, share different viewpoints about a piece of literature or art... or share the celebration of a festival such as Christmas, Eid-ul-Adha, Chinese New Year... then please email partnerfinding@globalgateway.org to receive a suggested partner school. It will help if you have registered your school at http://www.globalgateway.org/register We have suitable schools in France, Germany, Middle East, East Asia and USA who would like to videoconference with you.
