=PYP Exhibition Virtual Participants Information=

We hope to see you again next year! **
 * On May 5-6, 2010, Beijing (BISS) International School invited interested administrators, teachers and students to participate virtually in their PYP Exhibition. **
 * THANK YOU to all of our virtual participants for being a vital part of the Grade 5 PYP Exhibition.

=What does it mean to attend the PYP Exhibition virtually?= This is an opportunity to participate in a 'flattened' learning experience by viewing and interacting with the BISS PYP Exhibition over the 2 days. BISS will provide a detailed schedule, streamed video, backchannel, and wiki discussion forums for virtual participants to watch, comment, ask questions, and be a real part of the actual live exhibition as it takes place. We are keen to share our student achievements and to support them with an authentic, global audience to present to. We also want supportive interaction and feedback on the student learning experience.

 * Add your name and details to our **Guest List **
