Students from Smith Middle School participated today (Thursday) in the fifth annual Megaconference Jr. global event.

Megaconference Jr. is a project designed to give students in elementary and secondary schools around the world the opportunity to communicate, collaborate and contribute to each other’s learning in real time, using advanced multi-point video conferencing technology.

Smith Middle School French and global connections students observed presentations by students from around the world on topics ranging from, “Packing a Virtual Suitcase-Traveling the Globe,” to hip hop poetry from a French immersion school.

Thousands of K-12 students from at least four continents and 22 U.S. states joined together through the project.
