About Me:: I am a Year 5/Grade 4 teacher from Canada, working at Yew Chung International School in Beijing. I am finishing my fifth year and will be working here for at least another three years. I am presently working on my Masters of Education in Integrated Technology from Walden University.

I have followed the Flat Classroom projects with interest and had the privilege to attend the Conference in Qatar in January which was a life and view altering experience.

Your school sound unique. I'm sure it's a wonderful place to teach. I also teach in a fantastic environment, but with far less diversity. All of my students speak English as a first language. They are, however, well traveled. I would love for them to be able to learn about a different culture, and have the experience of connecting with students around the world.

Our curriculum's look to be very similar. I spent some time teaching in Wales, and the overall philosophies of education are very compatible.

The time certainly poses a problem. As I look at the time differences, I see that it is 11:30 am by you, and it's 10:30 pm by me. Impossible? I hope not.

What is your skype name?

Do you have Skype...I think it would be a wonderful experience to have our students meet, and perhaps discuss certain topics through skype (the visual will be so impt.). You interested?
