Accomplishments

The past 2 years I have helped expand English learning through online overseas lessons between schools in Japan and schools in Hawaii. The online exchanges were successful and the kids on both sides fully enjoyed the online exchange experience. I think it is extremely important for children to understand and be aware of other cultures and countries besides their own. The online exchange gives these young children the opportunity to see their peers in another country.
