Rene-4/2/2009-Skype Meeting

Today, my group, Jonah, Thomas, Malcolm, Nile, Milo and I got the chance to have a meeting with another school from Connecticut which was a boarding school. The topic was about water. Originally we were also supposed to be meeting with another school from Australia, but the timing was all off and they were about to break for a school break. I was really excited to learn about the other schools sustainability project, and exchange notes. Something that I found really interesting was there project; which is trying to make there school more green, although Little Red is doing the same, they had different priorities being a boarding school, things such as faster showers; turning lights off when leaving rooms, and using composts. I think our team worked well staying on topic, and focusing on what we were talking about. We helped each other understand what they were saying when the static from the internet got to be too loud, etc. Something I’d like to do for next time is have a list of different questions for the Australian school; I think it will be more interesting if we don’t just have the same conversation over…
