US-Qatar Student Debates
Arabic students from Washington, DC and Doha, Qatar participated in rounds of debates using Cisco Systems TelePresence. I was looking for a way to get students to learn Arabic after school without credit. QFI provided the connecting schools in Qatar and two teachers from a boys and girls school agreed to participate. We spent hours and hours planning it. They recently completed the rounds of debating last Friday. A special thanks to JJ Jamison, our contact at Cisco for connecting us with the technology.
That’s very cool — that technology looks amazing! I like all the innovative things you have done with your students to help them really get to know the other people and culture. (And also, you look great!)
Ditto on everything llcall wrote……..you look maarvelous…and awesome opportunity!
