9. They try to use ICT a lot so they have
two computer classes, and about 60
laptops and 30 ipads that they can use in
class. We really wished we could have
that too.
Something that we really liked too was
their media classes where they learn how
to write articles, create movies, take
pictures, etc. Most of them love
volleyball. On our side we prefer
football

agree that it’s a country that we would like to
visit or even live.
And we were really impressed with the
conditions they have in their school. It would be
cool if we could also use laptops and ipads in
the classroom.
