I'm looking for some high schools in Israel to video conference with- can you help?

The Basics of This Program

There are three aspects to this program that help each school involved.

First, Daily Written Exchanges- NING, Facebook, Twitter, and Blogging Exchanges)

This program will provide a study of goals, methods and consequences of net publishing at school. The key question in this research will be to find out what motivates young people to be on-line in the private sphere and in what ways this motivation can be transferred, developed and used in classrooms in Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and the United States. This will be a place for teachers to show their best practices, share information, and students to communicate to other students all over the world.

Second, Virtual Mock Trial and Debate:


This program will provide practical information and problem-solving opportunities for students. The curriculum will survey the legal system including criminal law and procedures as well as individual rights and liberties in the areas of speech, press, assembly, religion and discrimination. Case studies, simulations, mock trials, and guest speakers from the international legal and law enforcement communities are among the class activities. Mock Trial allows high school students to experience the courtroom in a hands-on mode. The mock trials are set up and structured just like a real court, bound by the same rules. This will help students know exactly what role each of the different people in a court (judges, lawyers, witnesses, etc.) have in the justice system. Students in the
program are expected to participate in mock trial competitive activities. We will have four mock trial competitions through out the school year and six debate competitions.
