What a great opportunity we had, a google hangout with kids form a school in Guadalajara, who have chosen to take a class based on the idea of the Innovation Academy.
It was incredible the interest they showed towards the Academy, continuously asking several questions about our independent projects and the process we have followed since the beginning of the school year. We had a long talk where we basically explained the most important steps to be successful with project based learning. One of the students wanted to have more interaction regarding their class in Guadalajara and the Innovation Academy, so that we could make sure that our independent projects were succeeding. Reflecting as a group before we answered that questions, we said that it would be great for them to check out our blogs constantly and explore all about our projects and what we learn daily. It could be amazing for them to have blogs as well, so that we in Lima, can give them feedback about what they are doing. Since this program is also new in Guadalajara I believe it would be a great experience for us to keep contact every once a while and share our new adventures as we go through the Innovation Academy.

As a whole we learned a lot through the talk, especially deducing that most of us need to work in communication skills. Now a days the media of Skype or Google Hangout is extremely important, because it is one of the easiest way to communicate with anyone around the world. We should be practicing this skill every once a while because it is crucial in such a competitive world. As for me, I need to improve in having a clearer communication and expressing my ideas better for others to understand what I say. It all takes practice, and for being our first virtual talk we did a great job.
