Voices of the World is a site where children's voices from everywhere reachable through the Internet can be heard. (I think that must be anywhere on planet Earth by now.) A wonderful experience to expand the learning horizons of the world's youth! Well organized and planned by Sharon Tonner, Primary ICT/International Co-ordinator at The High School of Dundee.

thanks for your greeting
I have been in South Korea - just about.. like kimchi now!
for all but 7 months
I am quite happy in my High School- its quite a bit quieter than some of the large schools in the UK (near Cheongju- Chungbuk-do you know?)
I worked at the famous Ridings in Halifax UK
which had around 25 teachers walk out in 1996 because the pupils were "unteachable-
I have also worked in special schools, incl children
in the autistic spectrum.
I hope to add more to this group in the next week - still "crooked with my right ankle ligaments
I did eleven days ago ! so only 5 x 30 mins conversation for me this week
...please call me JAMES or JIM
my parents kindly gave me their grandparents names for my middle names
!
There is still far too much focus on exams and scores (which teacher salaries are sometimes pegged to)and this will take time to change, as will the changes in methodology - for classrooms and teacher training.
