We had a video conference, VC with Akabanedai junior high school in Tokyo before having VC with Belgium. It was the practice for both students and the checking iChat working.

You can see two students who are playing flute in the screen. They are students at Akabanedai junior high school. It was a special performance for us and  another students showed us to do Acrobat performance too. We were really enjoyed them.

Thank you for giving us a good time.

We have participated with Belgium and USA team as GVC05-17 in GVC project since October and we have been communicating to decide topic, to select leaders at each school. Then we decided to have a video conference for Kick Off and to talk about our work in detail between three teams at first. But We missed USA team to contact and so we did it with Belgium team. At this meeting, we used iChat in mac computer, it is better video chat software than other any one, MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger, iVist, OKBuddy and so on, I think.  iChat has a clear and big screen and it is very convenient to communicate each other in On-Line meeting. Be careful, it requires broadband internet access with out firewall. Written by Sugimoto, teacher
