The German language lesson in the so called “Notebook class” by Barbara Aichinger.
Students became a homework which was written and sent to the schools Moodle platform. The teacher corrected die essays and sent them back with the comments to the Moodle platform. During the class each students access the platform and can see their essay and the essays of other students. Students try to do other things on their computer besides learning. They play computer games and switch quickly when they see the teacher approaching. Feels like home.
Krems - Dürenstein - Spitz - Melk - St. Pölten
Afternoon activities were much more interesting. Helmut, my personal tourist guide took me to all of the interesting places around the region Krems-Wachau. We stopped in different small villages along the way. The most exciting and beautiful was the visit to the Monestry Melk. The beautiful buildings, thr grammar catholic school, the museum, the Benedic orden monestry are a wonderful example of the barock architecture and design in Austria. The beautiful weather accompanied us on the excursion which finished in St. Poelten. The buildings in the capital of the region Niederoesterreich are modern and remained me of the EU buildings in Brussels.
In the evening I was invited to the most know tourist farm, which sells the latest wine production of the family Graf. Besides excellent wine we tried the local specialities. The teachers of the host school HAK/HAS have offered to join and we had a wonderful evening. This was the best way of getting to know the region and its people.
