Overview

This blog is for students from Alice Springs School of the Air, Australia,  Secondary School of Brienz, Switzerland and Leonard J. Tyl Middle School, Oakdale Connecticut in the USA to communicate and get to know each other better.

From Wednesday 16th November to Friday 5th December students are to use this blog to share information about themselves and to ask questions of students in the other countries.

During the week beginning 5th December there will be a live link up to allow students to speak with each other. You will have one group session and then you will be put into pairs or small groups to talk with students on the other side of the world. These sessions will be 20 minutes long so you have lots of time to ask each other questions and find out about how different and how similar your lives might be.
