Video conference with Old Fort High School in Ohio
On Tuesday 5th February 2013, 7SM, Mrs S Mahoney and Mr Jason Howells did a video conference with Old Fort High School in Ohio, USA. We spoke about Wales under various categories such as traditional symbols, welsh costume, castles, the welsh flag, St. David’s day and Eisteddfod, traditional welsh food, rugby and the millennium stadium.
The Americans entertained us with information about cowboys, American snacks, movies, holidays and they sang The Star Spangled Banner. We also had a discussion on stereotypes and we discovered that although we come from very different places, we are in fact very similar.
The link up was a huge success and a very enjoyable experience for both parties. 7SM are already planning their link up for next year.
