00:00:08.742 --> 00:00:13.027
In August 2011 Paolo discovered to have a severe form of leukemia

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:13.027 --> 00:00:17.494
When he was first hospitalized he started a long period of treatment.

00:00:17.494 --> 00:00:21.720
So he could not attend the school. But only in theory.

00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:25.735
Thanks to his family, classmates, teachers and headteacher

00:00:25.750 --> 00:00:30.546
A network was created allowing him to attend

00:00:30.546 --> 00:00:34.033
the last year of the highschool.

00:00:34.033 --> 00:00:36.790
A key role was played by new technologies

00:00:36.790 --> 00:00:40.613
that assured him both the right to education

00:00:40.613 --> 00:00:42.882
and to health. Thanks to an association

00:00:42.882 --> 00:00:47.290
for cancer patients, an IWB was allocated

00:00:47.290 --> 00:00:52.544
in Paolo's classroom, provided with a camera

00:00:52.544 --> 00:00:55.373
and a microphone. In order to have a good connection

00:00:55.373 --> 00:00:58.440
3 parables were installed, one on Paolo's house roof

00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:02.149
one on the roof of the school and the third one

00:01:02.149 --> 00:01:07.834
on the tower of Municipality building of Arezzo.

00:01:08.357 --> 00:01:13.017
Last but not least, Skype usage guaranteed

00:01:13.017 --> 00:01:15.601
Paolo's participation in the class activities

00:01:25.102 --> 00:01:26.831
Mom: "Coffee?", Paolo "No thanks"

00:01:31.238 --> 00:01:33.271
Mom: "Are your teachers all there?"

00:01:33.348 --> 00:01:34.441
Paolo: "I think so"

00:01:34.970 --> 00:01:36.974
Teacher: "Good morning, guys!"

00:01:37.484 --> 00:01:39.561
Paolo: "Are you here for lunch?"

00:01:39.591 --> 00:01:41.172
Dad: "I'm coming at around 1.30 PM"

00:01:41.172 --> 00:01:42.510
Mom: "Fine, lunch at 1.30 PM!"

00:01:48.387 --> 00:01:51.264
Teacher: "Who is present today? Who's not there?"

00:01:55.402 --> 00:01:57.918
Teacher: "Alessio, please, can you call Paolo? ...

00:01:57.918 --> 00:02:00.833
"...Meanwhile take your literature book..."

00:02:03.704 --> 00:02:06.054
"... What have we done last time?"

00:02:06.408 --> 00:02:10.235
Paolo: "Hi all!" Students: "Hi Paolo!"

00:02:12.650 --> 00:02:15.961
Teacher: "Paolo, do you have your book?"

00:02:16.038 --> 00:02:18.061
Paolo: "Yes I do!"

00:02:18.923 --> 00:02:21.146
Teacher: "... this is how the phenomenon works..."

00:02:21.146 --> 00:02:27.428
"...Paolo, according to you, what is the value of "L"?"

00:02:28.090 --> 00:02:31.742
Paolo: "The coordinates, maybe..."

00:02:31.758 --> 00:02:34.517
Teacher: ".. not really... WE HAVE TO SHOOT THIS SCENE AGAIN!!!!"

00:02:35.619 --> 00:02:38.124
Teacher: "Paolo, look at this..."

00:02:38.708 --> 00:02:42.869
Paolo: "Ah, ok, yeah, your're right!"

00:02:42.992 --> 00:02:45.345
Teacher: "Paolo, write it down, I'll wipe it now"

00:02:53.986 --> 00:03:01.721
Headteacher: "Excuse me I should show how the connection works"

00:03:01.721 --> 00:03:08.286
"On the school roof we installed a little parable..."

00:03:09.471 --> 00:03:15.183
"... so that we could guarantee a good signal..."

00:03:18.952 --> 00:03:22.279
Engineer: "On the roof of the Municipality building we put a signal repeater..."

00:03:22.494 --> 00:03:26.948
"... so that we could have a dedicated broadband.."

00:03:27.086 --> 00:03:33.072
"... and a direct connection between the school and Paolo's home..."

00:03:33.072 --> 00:03:37.618
"...which is 1 km far away from the Municipality building."

00:03:38.018 --> 00:03:46.131
Headteacher: "This is Paolo's house, where the connection ends."

00:03:52.254 --> 00:03:56.638
Classmate: "During the period Paolo was at home..."

00:03:56.638 --> 00:04:00.554
"... each of us has kept in touch with Paolo..."

00:04:00.554 --> 00:04:04.054
"... the project was very successful, even though..."

00:04:04.054 --> 00:04:07.184
"... there have been some technical problems sometimes..."

00:04:07.184 --> 00:04:09.896
"... but the technical staff has promptly solved them.."

00:04:10.065 --> 00:04:14.288
"....Paolo could count on the so-called "grandmother's basket..."

00:04:14.288 --> 00:04:18.265
"....a folder where all homework and notes were stored..."

00:04:18.265 --> 00:04:21.247
"... in case he could not attend the lesson via Skype..."

00:04:21.247 --> 00:04:23.466
"... in this way he could always have the program at a hand."

00:04:29.958 --> 00:04:32.347
Thanks to chemotherapy and the good result of the treatment

00:04:32.916 --> 00:04:37.724
Paolo has been able to come to school ... not only virtually!

00:04:43.747 --> 00:04:49.308
Students: "Hi Paolo! Welcome back!"
