FlashMeeting - Monday 27th April

Today, we had another chance to test out our equipment in schools before the big vote in May. A huge "Thank you" to all the partners who came along to this morning's FlashMeeting. We had 17 partners there, and overall, things worked very well, though there were some teething problems with microphones and some of the webcams.

You can watch a replay of today's meeting here.

Thanks to Marek Fularz, our Polish partner, for this fantastic picture!

If you experienced problems with your equipment, please take some time to test your school microphone thoroughly by going to the test page of FlashMeeting which is here.

Thanks again.
Michael

Iceland are represented by Flataskoli Gardabaer which is situated not far from the capital of the island, Reykjavík.
Flataskoli is a primary school with 320 students aged 6 to 12 years old. It was established in 1958 so we are celebrating 50 years of our school this year. We are doing a lot of activities because of the 50th years anniversary and this is a good opportunity to do something different.

In late March, we held our school elimination round, called Flatovision, where many pupils sang songs and we chose a winner. So, the song we will sing is called "Open your Heart" and we hope you all enjoy listening to it in May.
