In our recent global education project, each of the three high schools were paired up with a school in Ghana which is in west Africa. West Columbus High School was paired with Accra Senior High School which is located in the capital of Ghana. The gentleman who made arrangements with this school is Mr. Lawson Amenyo, a teacher since 1988. He received his first degree in Special Education (Visually Impaired) from the University of Education in Winneba. He also has a certificate in Adult Education from the University of Ghana and is currently working as a braillist and a transcriber at Ghana Braille Press of Ghana Education Service.
Some of my AIG (Academically and Intellectually Gifted) students worked on these projects. They are still working on others and we'll send them when completed.
The first one is an arcade game and can be found at the following address:

Just click on the game that you want to play and begin. All the questions and answers are the same for all of the games. We thought your students might learn something about West Columbus while playing.
The second project is a movie trailer filmed and edited on an iPad. It was done by one of our seniors, Hunter, in one class period which is one hour and fifteen minutes long. This will give you a quick visual tour of our school.
The third project is another movie trailer created by a group of mostly freshmen AIG students. It is a spoof on a horror movie. They wanted you to see it.
We'll send others as we finish them Can't wait to hear what you think. And would you please forward this to Accra Senior High School for me? I seem to have misplaced their email address.
Thank you so much,
