The Wallabies e-learning exchange
During 2007, e-learning activities were offered by Kang Guru to SMP teachers and their students. These cross-cultural e-learning exchanges were conducted between English language classes within Indonesia – see Sept/Dec. magazines 2007 for more information.
Here's what the 40 students at SMP Negeri Cimahi in Cimahi, Jawa Barat thought of the Joeys e-learning activity held in Oct. - Nov. 2007. Their teacher, Pak Agus Suganda reported that the students said the e-learning was terrific for:
learning more about another culture in Indonesia.
sharing knowledge about their area.
using English for a real purpose.- making new friends from
another region.

During March – April 2008, a third e-learning activity is being conducted by Kang Guru. The topic for this round of cross-cultural e-learning exchanges will be SPORT and hopefully some of the exchanges will be with Australian students too. And guess what? The June 2008 Kang Guru magazine will also have the theme of SPORT.

It’s 2008 and the Joeys are holding a Fashion Show Parade!
The purpose of doing this (English language) Fashion Show is to keep up with the latest trends and of course to improve their English. They invited their friends from other schools to join in. The theme of their Fashion Show is “Funky Mix and (Mis) Match”.
They have to wear anything funky but with mixing and (mis) matching of colours. Usually they are in school uniform for school but for this activity the Joeys are wearing quite different clothes. Don't they look fabulous? Well, what do you think? Cool or not cool?
