Language Students in the News
The Kentucky Enquirer (Cincinnati's KY edition) had as its front page local news story, an article about yesterday's video conference between Bishop Brossart, Villa Madonna Academy, Manual H.S. and the Lycée Charles de Gaulle in Dijon, France.
Mimi Hagedorn knows how to keep her students excited about learning. This past fall, she took her classes to a Civil War site so they'd be better prepared to talk about local history with some French students they'll host this spring. On Tuesday, they met those students through a videoconference - technology that blew the kids away.
"This was really cool," said junior Kari Becker, 17. "The kids are thousands of miles away and we can see them."
