Full Session Description (one paragraph minimum):

It all began  in 2005 when the first connection for  learning beyond borders took off for Veronica Woo, a TESL teacher and her students from SMJK Poi Lam, Ipoh, Malaysia.  That first step they took was with an all-boys Maori school called Hato Paora College in New Zealand.   The journey was an eye-opener and most insightful for Veronica and her students.  And from there on, there was no turning back on their virtual learning journey taking Veronica and her classes to countries like Taiwan, Australia, the USA, Germany, Indonesia, Vietnam and The Phillipines.
