Students are to write a sentence or two in response to yesterday's Mystery Skype.

Speaking of the Mystery Skype, two student reporters will be posting a full debrief soon, but for now, suffice to say it was fun, and hard, and although we had narrowed the other class's location down to USA, and specifically the state of Oklahoma, we did run out of time without finding their actual town (which we subsequently found out was Piedmont, Oklahoma). Here's just a few pictures of us in action:
Mystery Skype call is underway

Each of the students has a specific job

Students collaborating to come up with the next smart question!





















































Congratulations to our students for sticking with it over 40 intense minutes! This town would be hard to find on most any map due to its size, but here is where it is:


Piedmont, Oklahoma, just north-west of Oklahoma City.
