Nothing ventured, nothing gained! The results of IBOB SA.

To say that the atmosphere was charged would be an understatement!  An estimated 50 students took part in a grand experiment the circumstances of which were thrust upon the organizers by a perfect storm: a time differential of 13 hours, a Friday night in Asia, and a 5 day school holiday for the French International School that dispersed FIS students all over the world by 10PM.  With this concoction we opened up the funnel a bit and allowed students to participate from wherever they found themselves in the world.  This made this friendly experimental round very much lopsided but this was anticipated.  A huge thank you to the American School Tegulcigalpa, Honduras and The British School Quito, Ecuador for being willing to participate with all the cards stacked against them just so data could be gathered: 1 PC in each of their schools VS 2 PCs at GSIS and ~10 for FIS in experienced hands.  Rather than take up space here in this blog by recreating the proverbial wheel, chase this link for a detailed write up and pictures of the GSIS IBOB pijama party experience.  Mrs Ida Griffiths-Zee continues to pave new roads and raise the stakes on reaching children internationally with reading lists and activities that pull us closer no matter where we are geographically.  Thank you to all those who joined in as spectators and for the positive feed back and recommendations.  I'm looking forward to seeing you again in the IBOB chatroom in the near future!
