Cosby HS Meets Global HS via Google Hangouts 2Names/1Place

YoonPic

Our APHuGs (Advanced Placement Human Geography Students) were connected with Mr. Choi, Myoung Lyoul, an APHG/Regional Studies & Global Issues Teacher at Seoul Global High School and his students.  We first exchanged Pen Pal letters via Google Classroom/internet and spent a winter evening with each other via Google Hangouts/ FaceTime.  Cosby students were out for the winter/holiday break, while Seoul Global HS was in school.  We were able to chat with the teacher, students talk to each other and even had a “dance-off”/”Flossing”.  Global HS students were definitely the better dancers!  It was culture, ethnicity, language, political development “at its best”!  To date, they are still chatting with each other via Instagram, as I have been told that “Facebook” is for “old people”!

I teach AP Human Geography, World HistoryI-Honors at Cosby HS in Midlothian, Va. with Chesterfield Co. Public Schools System. I also teach Medical Law & Ethics as an elective class for our Governor's Specialty School for Health Sciences at Cosby. I have been teaching for almost 40, love history and love to travel. I have taken my students to almost all presidential inaugurations since 1980, traveled overseas to places of historical significance and travel throughout the United States. I believe that history is a part of life! Everything we do is history! We live it and learn from it! If we don't learn about our past, we will have a tremendous impact on our future! We should always be proud of our culture, our school & community, our country and the betterment of our world - THIS is imperative to our survival!!
