Blumberg explained what the project is all about.

“Part of Global Business, we are supposed to be learning about businesses, create a business that goes around the world.

So I was looking for a school somewhere else that we can do a yearlong project. So we can develop a product and sell it in another country,” Blumberg said.

He explained he found out about this on a website that connects schools from different countries.

He posted VMT on the website and received responses from six schools in different countries. The students made the decision to connect with France, Blumberg explained.

Global Business students already received a reply from the students in France.

“They wrote to us at the same time we wrote to them and we recently received their letters. They should by now have received our letters,” Blumberg explained.

For their next reply, students will create a video in French.

“We are now in the process of creating a video in French.  We wrote to them in English, they wrote back to us in English. So we figured it will be fair to produce a video in French,” Blumberg said.

When ask what the video will be about, Blumberg said it will be about the students introducing themselves and about the school.

VMT seems to be the only school doing this kind of project. When ask about it, Blumberg said, “NO I don’t [know]. It’s a new project I’m trying. We are doing it step by step. I think the students are learning quite a bit this way and I know I am.”

Joel Rodriguez, a sophomore, gave his thoughts about the project.

“I think its fun that we get to learn how they are and how much different they are from us. It’s cool that we get to communicate with people outside the country,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez talks about the benefits of the project.

“I guess in a way, we are able to make friends,” he said.

“The letters are actually very nice. They were much better than I expected they would be. The grammar was very proper and I was surprise they could speak very well English,” Quintanilla said.

Quintanilla is excited to be part of the course/project.
