Why videoconferences?

• Because pupils practise their English in an
  interesting way (and more effective)
• Because pupils like ICT more than books
• Because they meet kids of the same age from other
  countries
• Because they learn tolerance and respect to other
  cultures and traditions
• Because pupils are able to remember more and
  better (whatever subject it is)
• Because pupils can visit other schools any time
  for free
