Read Anne’s blogpost http://www.connectchinacollaborative.com/blog/talk-of-the-school Hawkesdale P-12 College, Victoria, Australia Skype with Yew Wah, Yantai, China Emmerson: I enjoyed this session because we got to link up with kids the same age as us and they lived in a different country. I think this is a good way to learn about China because we get to learn new facts about the country from people that live in china. #ChinaConnects Real Encounters
