Minnesota Kids Help Host Megaconference Jr

I was so pleased to see ThisWeek reported on Scott Highlands Middle School’s participation in Megaconference Jr. on Feb 21.

Scott Highlands Middle School is located in Apple Valley, Minnesota.

Megaconference Jr is an amazing. Here’s the description from their site:

Megaconference Jr., now in its fifth year, is a project designed to give students in elementary and secondary schools around the world the opportunity to communicate, collaborate and contribute to each other’s learning in real time, using advanced multi-point video conferencing technology. Presenters design and conduct videoconference-based presentations and activities focused on both academic and cultural issues. Participants are able to address questions to presenters and to collaborate with geographically diverse peers in collaborative learning activities, thus building international cultural awareness.

Scott Highlands Middle School was one of 12 schools around the world to act as VJ for the conference. It’s a big honor!
