GVC1708 - Reflections

Voznesenskaya School Voznesenskoye, Russia

It was wonderful participating in this project with students from the USA and India. Not only did it open my students' eyes to new cultures, but it helped me to bond with other teachers around the world. It was difficult at times because of the lack of computer and Internet resources in our area, but my students and I were able to persevere and learn a lot through this process.

I like GVC project very much. It was very interesting to know students from India and the USA, as if we met them personally. Drawing is my hobby and my favorite part was to draw for the project. I also enjoyed drawing for our site.I like to read about the problems faced by children around the world.

Veronica

Very interesting to read about problems faced by children in other countries and especially see the photos and drawings.

Alex and Michael

It is sad to know about the plight of children in other countries. We had additional practice in English reading and writing about illiteracy, poverty, child labor etc. I love our site very much!

This project gave us an opportunity to explore new things happening around the world. Now we know how to connect with students around the world and make friendship.

Nattaly Martinee- I loved the way our site developed. At first our teams decided the topic and laid out a rough layout. Our teacher guided us throughout the journey of learning. We researched a lot about the sub topics and noted down brief points. It was really a challenging task to prepare write ups . We did our best!

Tristan Corner- It brought tears in my eyes to learn about the sufferings of people in world. It was heart wrenching to know how people die in war and due to starvation. Thanks GVC for opening our eyes and not take everything for granted. Now I value all the blessings I have and try to help people in need.

Ava Ray- It was our first time here, so we were a little hesitant but overcame our fears gradually and contributed our best. Thanks teacher to provide us this wonderful opportunity. We are looking forward to next year too!

Konner Burks-This contest provided us a chance to show our digital skills. With new google sites it was quite easy to edit the pages. It was fun indeed! I loved the design and banners of our site as they were so appealing and colorful. I appreciate the creativity of our other teams.

Madison Conley-Life is a continuous journey of learning and with each passing day we learn something new. We make new friends and develop empathy. I am thankful to GVC for linking us with schools from across the globe.

Elise Gilberti-I pity those who are suffering in this world. Shocked to know that child labor is making hell of the lives of innocent children. I wish to raise my voice against this inhuman practice. Illiteracy is still another curse for children. Imagine in 21st century there are certain countries where children cannot read or write and attend school! Let's take a pledge to eradicate such evil things.

Carter Bunn-The thing I hate the most is war, it has brought destruction all over the world. In Syria, innocent children have become the victims of hatred and lost their lives. Poor souls! for what guilt of theirs, they were punished? When grown ups will think about us? We need to be more thoughtful and protest against all wrong things going on in this world.
