Thanks for wonderful opportunity

I am glad to have the opportunity to meet so many teachers and students through this flatclassroom initiative. My students will ofcourse love this class too. They already dig computer period and now they'll get to make so many new friends. I would like to thank Vicki and Julie for their support. Thanks.

How many teachers from Hong Kong do you see on this ning? I have been two years trying to push the use of this technology here but it is very, very traditional.
I am getting some traction but it is very slow.
Companies also tend to know that the market in Hong Kong is hard work.
Cheers

Paul
