It's a wonderful trip during these six months! We not only learned how to cooperate with each other but share what we know on the competition platform. In the beginning, the goal of what we want to do was very clear among these three schools. We, Taiwan, Mississippi,Virginia are near the ocean, so we think ocean issue should be seen and respected.

Recently, people do care about our environments more than ever, such as air pollution, sea pollution, land pollution, water pollution and so on. As a human being, how to help the earth and do some actions becomes a big challenge. During this competition period, we searched the information , and then found the serious destruction people did on the ocean. Students and teachers were very astonished by what we did for the earth. Sometimes people are not aware of the impact that you have on the environment. We are happy that the three schools have the same goal on the competition.

Also, we want to thank Virginia did a lot of efforts, such as the discussion among us happening not only on the Edmodo but on the OneNote. Mississippi has the technical problems, It must be a very hard time for them. But they solved the problems. All in all, it's a very great journey to join this competition and meet the two schools. Ocean protection starts you and me. Let make the earth better!

We have really enjoyed the experience of working with our wonderful partners in Virginia and Taiwan. Students have learned so much about the ocean and the need to protect it. Here's what some of them had to say: "I learned that if the ocean is not kept clean, it will affect many everyday things," - Parker

Thank you partners and Global Virtual Classroom from Bayou View Elementary, Gulfport, Mississippi, USA
The collaboration, communication, feedback, research, and so much more that was poured into the project by the students was absolutely astonishing. Global Virtual Classroom has allowed me to guide and witness authentic project-based learning that reached far beyond the school walls. The experience will continue to impact the students for the years to come. I would like to extend a huge thank you to our team members and teachers. You were wonderful to work with entire time. Thank you to the GVC Administrative Team that put in the hard work to make this happen for students. Thank you to the Give Something Back International Foundation for sponsoring the project. ~Kate Chall, Teacher, Toano Middle School
