SCHOOL-TO-SCHOOL PROJECT FOR 1 TEKUN & 2 TEKUN STUDENTS

I have just received a reply from Kritsada Tulkijjawong regarding the school-to-school project and below is his response:

Hi teachers,

"We are glad to inform you that we have successfully partnered you with Sirindhorn School (Surin), Kolej Tun Datu Tuanku Haji Bujang (Miri) and Doisaket Wittayakom (Chiang Mai). Your students will be working under “Travel Guides 14” topic which you have chosen earlier.

To help you get started, you may want to visit our School to School Project Page where you will find basic instructions as well as our most recent updates. Please ensure that you have all your students registered to our students' web community before starting the project. Please do not hesitate to contact us shall you need any assistance.

Once again thank you for your interests in our project and we hope to see you online soon!"


This second email on the other hand is from the school that we are going to collaborate with:

Dear teachers,

I'm glad to have the result of matching schools to work on the "Travel Guides" together. My name is Prapakon Wongnang, teaching English at Doisaketwitayakom School in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I teach grade 12 students and most of them are preparing themselves for a university.
Next week there will be the mid-term test at my school, so I think after the exam, we can discuss about the project and then we can start working together.

I look forward to getting in touch with you.

Best regards,
Prapakon (Toi)


We have decided to have the 1 tekun and 2 tekun to work hand in hand for this project. We will probably start discussing on the planning and execution of the project after Progressive 3 exam. Thank you.

Mr. BCCC Coordinator
