Blog feedSinging in Europe
May 17th, 2009
Norway won the Eurovision Song Contest this weekend, but some pupils and teachers in East Lothian were more interested in their own active participation in a Europe-wide singing contest. Yester Primary School in Gifford was taking part in ‘Schoolovision 2009′, an initiative designed by their teachers as an enjoyable way for children to learn more about Europe and utilise their ICT skills. Thirty primary schools from European Union countries were involved, sharing songs, text and their voting through blogs and videoconferencing, linked via the e-twinning programme. An article in the Scotsman provides background.
