March+24th+-+Team+Building+Begins

Hello Everyone,

We are going to start on our team building projects.


 * Corpus Christi ** will be working on the **Green Horn** initiative and raising awareness at their school about the environment and what students can do to make a difference. Initiatives such as [|EARTH HOUR] will give you a better understanding of what you can do to reduce your ecological footprint and help preserve our planet for future generations. The following website [] will give you better insights of what you can do in your school community to help make our planet a "greener" place to live.


 * Bishop Reding ** will extend their Lent season activities to **//"Think Fast"//** and raise awareness of "**//hunger in third world countries"//** and what you can do to help fight poverty and make a difference. It's a fun way for youth and young adults to learn and help those in the Global South to build a better life. Participants collect pledges for each hour they plan to fast. The money raised funds the work of Development and Peace partners in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Young people learn that they can make a difference in the fight against global poverty and hunger by working together! We can "** Speak Up "** and make our voices heard. Visit the following website: []

Through podcasting, video conferencing and assistive technology, we can use the tech tools that we use to communicate to raise awareness of how we can help in our school community.

It is time to start "SPEAKING UP" and show others that young people can "be the change".

Let's get started.

At the end both schools will video conference, share their podcasts and their experiences. Samples of your work will be posted on the wiki. You will have the option of using video, print (HTML), pictures (powerpoint) and audio(MP3) to present your work.

All the best in your endeavour. Ms. Salvo Itinerant Assistive Technology
