Hello David, yes, it's a great idea!

Hello David,

no, I don't think this is necessary. You've done a great job so far. Thank you! It will be very interesting when the first students will join the network. I'll ask my students also next week to join the network. I think this will be a less a network for whole clases but for the interested students among them, to give them an opportunity to share their views and discover wordwide perspectives on history topics (only possible in English Im afraid.. being a teacher of history & French language ;)) ... It could be a little bit difficult to declench a real discussion. To me, it seems a good idea to let an open space to the students to start discussing or ask questions about what they are interested in. Additionnally, it could be a good idea to propose a topic for discussion in a second forum, every week or fortnight, which would give also a good reason to come regularly to the network to check out the new topic, This could be something of actual interest being present also in the media like remembrance days and other events, like e.g. the 20th anniversary of november, 9th 1989, undoubtly very important in German history, also in European, but what does this event mean on a worldwide scale, to Australians or South Africans?

Two weeks ago I heard a conference by Peter Seixas (the Canadian who is behind these benchmarks) and it was absolutely inspiring... if ever you have the opportunity, go and see and hear him talking about history teaching!

For all German speaking colleagues - just started!
