Such isthe case in Greece right now. These moments in the lives of both individuals and countriesafford opportunities for growth. Driving and restraining forces towards growth can beinternal or external to the individual, relationships, organizations, communities, the culture,the nation, and international forces. (p. 201)The poster presentation will demonstrate the effort of a sixth grade class from the 1st Primary Schoolof Rafina in Greece to open their wings and connect with Dr Orestes J. Varonis, Ph.D. in the state ofOhio of the United States of America via WebEx, a Cisco web-conferencing tool.The students over the past two school years (grades 5 and 6) have been able to embed themselves incontexts that contribute to homonomous identification and development with an interdisciplinaryapproach. First they connected within small working groups of the class, then with students andteachers from other classes in the school, then with the local community, then with the country andthe European Union, and finally they opened their wings to the world by connecting with the UnitedStates of America.The main aim of the three on-line synchronous sessions was to hear a real life success story by Dr.Varonis is order to develop a positive attitude towards major life changes and imagine the possibilityof their own mobility around the globe for educational or professional purposes.Read more at: http://www.icicte.org/ICICTE_2015_programme.pdf Show less
