It’s weird knowing that students and teachers in three different countries plus my own peers were listening to what I had to say. As I was talking, students would write questions in the chat and I would try to answer them.Georgia, Year 10I was a bit nervous but once I started talking I was alright. It’s a weird feeling knowing that students and teachers in three different countries plus my own peers were listening to what I had to say. As I was talking students would write questions in the chat and I would try to answer them if I could.Rachael, Year 10

I enjoy doing linkups like this one as it is a easy way to learn about other cultures. They say there is no better way to learn than to learn from your peers. Using a virtual classroom and talking to students in other countries is more interesting and more valuable than any textbook!
