Students from Taiwan, Kenya, Iraq, and India worked with Muir K-12 Magnet on their award-winning websites in the Global Virtual Classroom competition.
With the
website theme of "Education: Hope for the Future," Muir students in grades 3-6 worked by teleconference and email with similar-age students at the Aga Khan Academy in Kenya and Tainain Municipal Haidong Elementary School in Taiwan. Their efforts brought them Third Prize and $250. Essays discussed their studies, special events, technology and personal stories.
