Let's get connected

3/15/2015

I've had so many requests over the years to write down my experience and ideas about teaching, education and living in Japan and I've been wondering how to answer to these.

Blogging since 2010, it's been all in Japanese; my website includes lots of videos and fotos, so I think everyone can get something out of it, but finally I got the simple idea to just add an English blog to it.

I really hope I can make it into something you'll enjoy and it would be great to receive your comments and ideas, too.

This year has started wonderful, as far as "international connections" and projects are concerned.

For today let me just link you to our completely new video exchanges with
Poland, Russia and Spain.
France might be waiting around the corner, too.

Waiting for your comments and requests.

I love your "international connections" project.thank you for the attempts to link all those who're into learning English and coming closer to each other through video exchanging! Is it important to do it on Youtube first?( I mean to edit on it). And what's next? How to stay connected with you or others?

Elvira, thanks a lot for your encouraging comment.
I'm also very excited this program is getting bigger, now.
I think there are more possibilities than I can imagine right now, but let's take it step by step and just "do it ".

@Is it important to do it on Youtube first?

Get the "i movie" app on your tablet or IPhone. You can edit here easily and upload it on you tube from here right away.

@And what's next?

Try the app first on your own(you don't have to upload it, of course)
Then take a clip with your students.

@How to stay connected with you or others?

For an exchange mail is best to send URLs and detailed ideas.
You can send me an e mail any time via the "contact" (left on website)
Or send me "pm" from the GEForum.
I will answer ASAP.

Thanks again, hope this helps!

It's time to get connected!
Kids will have the opportunity to use the language to make new friends!
And teachers can find the best inspiration connecting with colleagues abroad!

Hello Margit, Julia and Elvira!
I've posted this link to a video of my 8-10 year olds on the Forum but also here! My kids are very excited and we've decided to get a map for our classroom so that we can mark where our "genki" friends are from! Margit and Julia what cities are you from? My students were also very impressed with how fast russian kids speak! Good luck everyone! Dacha
