00:00:08,742 --> 00:00:13,027
In August 2011 Paolo discovered to have a severe form of leukemia

2
00:00:13,027 --> 00:00:17,494
When he was first hospitalized he started a long period of treatment.

3
00:00:17,494 --> 00:00:21,720
So he could not attend the school. But only in theory.

4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,735
Thanks to his family, classmates, teachers and headteacher

5
00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:30,546
A network was created allowing him to attend

6
00:00:30,546 --> 00:00:34,033
the last year of the highschool.

7
00:00:34,033 --> 00:00:36,790
A key role was played by new technologies

8
00:00:36,790 --> 00:00:40,613
that assured him both the right to education

9
00:00:40,613 --> 00:00:42,882
and to health. Thanks to an association

10
00:00:42,882 --> 00:00:47,290
for cancer patients, an IWB was allocated

11
00:00:47,290 --> 00:00:52,544
in Paolo's classroom, provided with a camera

12
00:00:52,544 --> 00:00:55,373
and a microphone. In order to have a good connection

13
00:00:55,373 --> 00:00:58,440
3 parables were installed, one on Paolo's house roof

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,149
one on the roof of the school and the third one

15
00:01:02,149 --> 00:01:07,834
on the tower of Municipality building of Arezzo.

16
00:01:08,357 --> 00:01:13,017
Last but not least, Skype usage guaranteed

17
00:01:13,017 --> 00:01:15,601
Paolo's participation in the class activities

18
00:01:25,102 --> 00:01:26,831
Mom: "Coffee?", Paolo "No thanks"

19
00:01:31,238 --> 00:01:33,271
Mom: "Are your teachers all there?"

20
00:01:33,348 --> 00:01:34,441
Paolo: "I think so"

21
00:01:34,970 --> 00:01:36,974
Teacher: "Good morning, guys!"

22
00:01:37,484 --> 00:01:39,561
Paolo: "Are you here for lunch?"

23
00:01:39,591 --> 00:01:41,172
Dad: "I'm coming at around 1.30 PM"

24
00:01:41,172 --> 00:01:42,510
Mom: "Fine, lunch at 1.30 PM!"

25
00:01:48,387 --> 00:01:51,264
Teacher: "Who is present today? Who's not there?"

26
00:01:55,402 --> 00:01:57,918
Teacher: "Alessio, please, can you call Paolo? ...

27
00:01:57,918 --> 00:02:00,833
"...Meanwhile take your literature book..."

28
00:02:03,704 --> 00:02:06,054
"... What have we done last time?"

29
00:02:06,408 --> 00:02:10,235
Paolo: "Hi all!" Students: "Hi Paolo!"

30
00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:15,961
Teacher: "Paolo, do you have your book?"

31
00:02:16,038 --> 00:02:18,061
Paolo: "Yes I do!"

32
00:02:18,923 --> 00:02:21,146
Teacher: "... this is how the phenomenon works..."

33
00:02:21,146 --> 00:02:27,428
"...Paolo, according to you, what is the value of "L"?"

34
00:02:28,090 --> 00:02:31,742
Paolo: "The coordinates, maybe..."

35
00:02:31,758 --> 00:02:34,517
Teacher: ".. not really... WE HAVE TO SHOOT THIS SCENE AGAIN!!!!"

36
00:02:35,619 --> 00:02:38,124
Teacher: "Paolo, look at this..."

37
00:02:38,708 --> 00:02:42,869
Paolo: "Ah, ok, yeah, your're right!"

38
00:02:42,992 --> 00:02:45,345
Teacher: "Paolo, write it down, I'll wipe it now"

39
00:02:53,986 --> 00:03:01,721
Headteacher: "Excuse me I should show how the connection works"

40
00:03:01,721 --> 00:03:08,286
"On the school roof we installed a little parable..."

41
00:03:09,471 --> 00:03:15,183
"... so that we could guarantee a good signal..."

42
00:03:18,952 --> 00:03:22,279
Engineer: "On the roof of the Municipality building we put a signal repeater..."

43
00:03:22,494 --> 00:03:26,948
"... so that we could have a dedicated broadband.."

44
00:03:27,086 --> 00:03:33,072
"... and a direct connection between the school and Paolo's home..."

45
00:03:33,072 --> 00:03:37,618
"...which is 1 km far away from the Municipality building."

46
00:03:38,018 --> 00:03:46,131
Headteacher: "This is Paolo's house, where the connection ends."

47
00:03:52,254 --> 00:03:56,638
Classmate: "During the period Paolo was at home..."

48
00:03:56,638 --> 00:04:00,554
"... each of us has kept in touch with Paolo..."

49
00:04:00,554 --> 00:04:04,054
"... the project was very successful, even though..."

50
00:04:04,054 --> 00:04:07,184
"... there have been some technical problems sometimes..."

51
00:04:07,184 --> 00:04:09,896
"... but the technical staff has promptly solved them.."

52
00:04:10,065 --> 00:04:14,288
"....Paolo could count on the so-called "grandmother's basket..."

53
00:04:14,288 --> 00:04:18,265
"....a folder where all homework and notes were stored..."

54
00:04:18,265 --> 00:04:21,247
"... in case he could not attend the lesson via Skype..."

55
00:04:21,247 --> 00:04:23,466
"... in this way he could always have the program at a hand."

56
00:04:29,958 --> 00:04:32,347
Thanks to chemotherapy and the good result of the treatment

57
00:04:32,916 --> 00:04:37,724
Paolo has been able to come to school ... not only virtually!

58
00:04:43,747 --> 00:04:49,308
Students: "Hi Paolo! Welcome back!"
