IJWC gets published in Spain

International Junior Writers Club (IJWC) got published in a newspaper, “Linea Local,” June 2017 issue, in Spain. The news article publicized the learning collaboration between students from Alternative Education Center in Odessa, TX and Instituto de EducaciĆ³n Secundaria IES Prado Mayor in Totana, Murcia, Spain. During the school year 2016-2017, students from Odessa, TX and Totana, Murcia, Spain collaborated with each other on project-based learning (PBL) and revising and editing activities. Because of her students' positive experience with this initiative, Ms. Maria Aranzazu MouriƱo Loretto, IJWC’s teacher partner from Spain, hopes to extend students’ collaboration to other classes such as Mathematics, Science, Music, and Arts, not just English.
