Oops! Same problem - when I go to the link there's a message that says I don't have access to it and to contact the creator. Anyone else have that problem? Randy? Maria? Dolors?
You put it exactly right when you said it was a week of ups and downs! It also goes to show how we are all learning through reflection on this entire process and experience. I know we often say that we have to be flexible in our planning and not let the plans control us, rather guide us but I certainly feel that it is not until we are involved in something like an international project that we really live this completely and understand it to its fullest. You were right in realising that listening to 50 kids' monologue would only lead to disinterest in the project and needed to be cut down. That's great input - and it's a mistake that hopefully we won't make the next time!
We also need to be aware that reality butts its head when we least expect it and administration, sick leaves, technology - all of these things cannot throw a wrench in the gears and have to be dealt with. So true, so true.
I agree, having the chance to host Maria in your class is going to enrich the whole project!
