LHP gave us a great chance to present an authentic image about our country, and I believe that students should collaborate with their global peers to learn about the world and not just by media.

Students tried to figure out some topics about our city, and learned about how to use Skype to present a powerpoint to foreign friends.
Dear Patty,
I like a new version of your name. ^____^
It's a good idea to share videos.
Your students also created an e-book .Could you give a link?. It's a nice methodological material for global teachers and their students to get to know more about Taiwan!
Warmly,
Rimma
