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

The gaps that we need to fill

  I presume that I need not introduce anyone to COVID-19 . It is the reason why you cannot see your friends and also why you can wake up at 9 am on weekdays. And this is precisely the premise of today's blog post. How did the lack of regular lessons influence us, and did we indeed waste a year of education?  We are not going to lie to ourselves:  this school year has been extremely overwhelming . The back and forth between going to school and switching to distant learning left not only me but a lot of others very confused. Until November we were all together as a class, and then we had to shift to online education. After that, it was just a mix of online lessons and  class attendance, with only half of the students present.  Nonetheless, I can tell from my own experience that when it comes to new skills, this year has been very productive. I think that the most important one is becoming  a more independent learner. It is difficult for teachers to check on t...

Covid – A student’s dream or educational disaster?

  As we surely all have understood by now the past year has been drastically different due to the global pandemic, for adults as well as for students. In this blog post I will show you the viewpoint of an affected student from Austria. First of all, schools only partially closed down. For the most time online classes were held, then when things got better the government decided to switch to a system with half of the students physically going to school every other day. Unfortunately, this led to more covid-cases, resulting in a back and forth between online classes and “real” classes. One of the major differences was in the amount of work that we got assigned. Not only were the teachers much more generous with homework but as a student I had a lot more time to manage, and efficiently do, all the tasks. This might seem like a big advantage for everyone, but the actual online meetings were much more stressful than I could’ve ever imagined. Over time, however, things changed. Teachers ...

The status of our environment is getting worse and worse!

  Don’t you think our environment is in big trouble? Because I do! There is this huge hole in the ozone layer which has to close again for example. But this only works if we finally decide to do something for it. Planting trees would be optimal. But this hole isn’t our only problem. There are many other problems like the pollution of oceans and seas. Many fishes are dying because of that. But the list of bad things doesn’t stop here. There are many other disasters we have to do something about as well. To fix those things we need every help we can get. So why don’t you or your school contribute something good for the environment? For example, by going to demonstrations. Starting an environmental-protection school project would also be a great idea. There are many other options to do something good for nature as long as something changes. Even if you only start separating waste. But to start helping the environment people have to know what they can do about it. Therefore, it would b...
