international-school-project
a. Introduction through a Digital Story, comments from KISP participants
Due on: March 23 for the digital stories, March 31 for the comments
Progress: As mentioned, there are some KISP participants that have not yet sent
their digital stories. Also, there are schools that have not sent the student
worksheets; we need the email addresses of the students to invite them to the
KISP main group
Action required:

3. o For TEIs with schools who have not submitted the digital stories, please
inform us how much time they need to prepare and submit the digital
stories and the student data worksheets
o For all TEIs, please inform the schools under your guidance to have their
students and teachers register in the EC and in the KISP main group
b. Project Themes / Topics
Due on: March 30
Progress: will have to be moved to a later date to wait for the digital stories and
comments from the KISP participants
Action required:
o TEIs, please help your schools decide on what project themes / topics to
take on for their national project. The forum thread for this is still open:
http://ict.unescobkk.org/groups/kfit-international-school-
project/forum/topic/for-all-members-project-topics/
o TEIs, once the schools have decided on the project themes / topics,
please have them post it in the same forum thread:
http://ict.unescobkk.org/groups/kfit-international-school-
project/forum/topic/for-all-members-project-topics/
o As mentioned in our recent online meeting, we mentioned that we would
like a school to pick "weather" as its project theme / topic, as it is
something that anybody can talk about. Also, talking about the weather
means talking about a lot of other things - food, culture and tradition,
clothes, leisure activities; it is an excellent starting point for conversation
among the participants. Please let us know if your school/s would like to
work on this topic by posting on the same forum thread: :

project/forum/topic/for-all-members-project-topics/
3. Other Concerns
a. How to improve interaction among participants in the KISP main group - first things
first, we have to get the teachers and students to register in the EC and the KISP main
group - we'd appreciate if you can send the student data worksheets soon (for those
who haven't). We think one of the objectives of the project is to engage the students in
genuine interaction, that is, not limited to just posting their projects on the EC. It would
be great if they can make new friends through the KISP group! Your ideas are very

4. much welcome; please post them in the "How to Improve Interaction among KISP
participants" forum thread: http://ict.unescobkk.org/groups/kisp-core-
team/forum/topic/improving-interaction-among-kisp-participants/
b. Introduction through Digital Stories - if you will refer to the instructions we provided on
how to proceed with the digital story activity, we wanted the participants to form small
groups (4-5 members) so they could have more time for individual introduction in the
video. We have noticed that several schools decided to prepare a digital story for the
entire class; as a result, many of the students were unable to introduce themselves
individually. Thus we would like to ask you to have the KISP participants post an entry
in the self-introduction forum: http://ict.unescobkk.org/groups/kfit-international-school-
project/forum/topic/self-introduction-8/ participants can also leave a "Hi" or a "welcome"
comment to acknowledge their entries in the forum thread.
If you have other ideas on how to facilitate introduction and "breaking the ice" among
the participants, please let us know and post on the "Improving interaction among KISP
participants" forum thread: http://ict.unescobkk.org/groups/kisp-core-
team/forum/topic/improving-interaction-among-kisp-participants/
c. next online meeting - we are due for an online meeting next week; please expect us
to ask for your available schedule on Monday (2 April)
Thanks!
