Parents Information

Dear Parents of the Wenzgasse,

in our English Elective course, we are currently working on an online portal that is allowing students to exchange their habits of learning for tests and how they help them. We also want to publish weekly tips that can be used to increase your learning abilities in different ways, for example on concentration and receptivity. 

 

Our goal is to write a blog by Austrian high school students that have all experienced the difficulties of learning correctly. We think our tips that focuses lesson study mater and more on advice on how to learn can help a wide range of students, especially since they emphasise modern education.

Now you will certainly ask yourself from where we get our information and how we want to educate ourselves. 

First and foremost, we try to draw our information from our close interaction with the students of Wenzgasse. Furthermore, we inform ourselves daily via the media if there are new methods that can help us with our topic. It also allows us to become aware of problems that affect others. If we get the opportunity to attend lectures, we will take it. 

Unfortunately, there are a lot of fraudsters and hackers on the Internet these days. That's why data protection is very important to us. 

 

We decided that we put our blog on a website powered by Blogger.com and you can reach it with the following link: https://learningstrate.blogspot.com

In order that your child is protected we will be using pseudonyms that can be selected. We will be keeping a safely stored list with the pseudonym and the email address that you are handing the blogs in. Because we want to keep your children safe, we cannot allow personal pictures, age of the student or whatsoever in the blog. At another blog post, we have a permission slip that will allow us to post your daughters / son blog. This permission slip will be handed in to Prof. Mayer-Habian till the easter holidays. 

 

We want to give all students the opportunity to participate in our project and therefore there is no age limit. We believe that it is best for everyone involved if the project takes place in the English language. There is no requirement for word counts or anything like that. The main thing is that there are good arguments. Plagiarism and copyright play a big role for us and anyone who violates these rules will be banned from the platform. The texts do not have to be corrected by a teacher, as we believe that would be too much effort. The texts must be sent as a PDF to the following e-mail address: informationalblogvienna@gmail.com

The texts that we like best will be uploaded to the platform. We will always upload the texts within a week. Inappropriate comments will be deleted by the team. We will try to check the opinions twice a week.

 

So what is our goal with this blog? We want to create a nice environment for students of all age where each and every one can provide information as well as consume information. This is a project we would like for the Wenzgasse to exist for all long period so also future students can take profit from it. Because of the fact that we students are underage we will need you to give your consent in order for your daughter / son to use this digital platform. 

 

With this information provided we would be thrilled if you gave your consent and we are looking forward to interacting with your kid/s in the future.

 

Best regards

the Team
