Learning Globally - Connecting Classes Online Project

Connecting Classrooms Online is a school partnership project between global schools which works to build relationships between cultures, bring a globalised context into school education and contribute to national reforms in teacher education and school leadership. We Middle PECHS also worked under this umbrella and successfully completed a connecting Classroom Online project.

Science teacher Afshan Rupsi initiated this project with a group of 10 students of class VIII selected a topic “health and Hygiene" related to their curriculum, registered on platforms “iEARN” and “EPAL” global community to achieve their targets. The registration was followed by searching a global partner school working on the same topic “health and Hygiene”. We collaborated with three International Schools simultaneously to share our project. Iqra Bilingual Academy of Dakar (Senegal) ,  Kadi Ayad Junior High School from Morocco and American School of Singapore from Singapore.

Students used series of Skype sessions, emails and forums to communicate with the students of other international schools to share their plans and progress of ongoing work. BSS Middle PECHS Students in collaboration with other students of different Schools conducted a series of activities mentioned below under the umbrella of Health and Hygiene.

Introduction, Sharing of plans, Skype session by an international Doctor to make our students topic Masters, Survey, Health Awareness posters, banners, Badges, skits, podcasts, videos, Parental session, Teaching proper hand washing techniques to students, March, Healthy eating day, cleaning of school areas, improvising school canteen hygiene by providing gloves and caps, Sweeper duty roasters, Providing covered dustbins and much more.

Finally compiling all the efforts done by the Schools, in a form of PowerPoint presentation, to be uploaded on iearn. Students really enjoyed the new way of learning by sharing globally.

    It is good to see the way You have interacted with the IQRA school, and also worked for the hygiene and cleanliness of your own school. Involvement of parents was a good step too. Hope you all have evaluated this project well in order to plan better and improved actions for the future.
