Lunchbox+Project+2011

My International Pen Pal Club is participating in this project this year. All information can be acquired and found on the main project site http://lunchboxproject.wikispaces.com/. I have decided to document what we share and do with the project here as well so others can follow our journey.

Some links for this project.

1. Main page http://lunchboxproject.wikispaces.com/

2. The blog where we can share our journey along the way []

3. The lunch presentation that we will all be contributing to []

4. Our own little blog posting service where we will be posting other images of our food from breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Simply join the group by applying to join or emailing me at aarmau@gmail with you email address and I will give you access to post. []

Today we attempted to Skype with Portugal and Kentucky at the same time. None of us had ever try to conduct a three way video conference. We had some technical difficulties, but in the end we were still able to take away some positive communication. Here is a video highlighting some of our talks.

Here is a photo of the wonderful team of students who are giving up their free time to work on this project. We don't have time to meet in school so we have been meeting before school at least once a week. I appreciate all their hard work and dedication to completing the tasks. They are a great group.

Here is a video of us introducing ourselves to all of you. Some spoke just English while others spoke either French, Spanish, or German. We hope you enjoy.
