Project Ghana
Remote learning with Ghana/Reflecting on Classroom Close-Up
When my school went on an extended leave because of the coronavirus, remote learning at the time was the only option to continue the school year.

When my students and myself went on an extended leave because of the coronavirus, remote learning at the time was the only option to continue the school year.
What made remote learning during this tough time rewarding was the fact that Oiada International provided students with special Ghana sessions.
During these remote sessions, my students were able to view Ghana’s presentations on how the movie The Black Panther could relate to the history and geography of Ghana and Africa.
In addition, my students were engaged in presentations on the history, culture, inventions with their inventors, new technology and geography relating to Ghana and other countries in Africa.
Also, I was not aware that scenes from the Game of Thrones were filmed in Africa. These sessions made remote learning more rewarding and more positive in a time where it just seemed that the world stopped.
Besides the remote Ghana sessions, during this time away from the world and staying in quarantine I reflected back to my experience filming Project Ghana for Classroom Close-up.
I reflected on how I was able to work with the students in Ghana and the students at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School to create an awesome segment. Bringing together History, Science, Math, Music, guests, and magazines, such as Unheard Voices and Prehistoric Times Magazine, for this Ghana session was incredible.
