Testimonials

 The program was electric! My students were excited every single day. A real photostory –
about a real child – brought the entire culture alive for them. Their questions – and discoveries –
never stopped.
Karen Lawler, 5th grade teacher, Hillcrest El School

 The students were like little sponges soaking up a new concept. They used higher levels of
thinking to learn about children …., and then compared this knowledge with their own lives . . . They learned
how to observe, analyze, think and create in ways they had not done before . . .the impact of this experience has
changed the way these students learn.
Lynne Tilley, 5th grade, Comanche El. School, Oklahoma

 The information was phenomenal! So many of the issues and topics are already
part of our curriculum.
Greg Roberts, 4th grade teacher, Inglewood El School

 The students were literally jumping out of their seats to ask and answer questions.
I even had parents coming in to see the program.

 This is the first time I’ve looked at photographs so closely, as if they were paintings – or art.

 The photo-stories…made abstract concepts real. The students became close to the kids
featured in the stories: they were real people – real pictures.

 I had the best descriptive writing ever!

Ms Klatchko’s (Galapagos) project allowed the ..students to be apart of a larger world . . . a wonderful
learning experience that they will always remember! I hope that we can go along on future expeditions.

 The short amount of time you spent with us was very significant in my education . I will not forget
the information you taught me.

 . . . students were still talking about the videoconference and building on knowledge learned months
after the project ended.. . . Teachers saw the EJK Project as a way to extend and enrich their existing curricula.
Heather Weiss, Applications Coordinator, MAGPI

 I learned as much about the various cultures as the students… and gained
insight into how my students view the world.
Keith Andrews, 4th grade teacher, Belmont Hills El. School

 Our students were so surprised to see how differently people lived. They had many preconceived
notions which were incorrect!
