WHAZZUP? is an educational network for young people to share their learning, interests, passions and concerns with peers in other countries. It is also a forum for teachers to develop intercultural and online educational ideas.
We will continue along the same lines of the first
WHAZZUP? project in 2008-2009, which was part of Asia-Europe classroom net,
AEC-NET. On two consecutive years (2009 and 2010), WHAZZUP? won the AEC-NET Award.
Now we have decided to open the network to schools from other continents, too. If you are a teacher interested in bringing some students along, please contact me by email first (sinikkalw [at] gmail.com). Students can only join through initial contact from their teacher, and network organiser's approval. Underneath is a list of all the different activities that your students can get involved with.
