<p>Hi everyone, </p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm currently co-ordinating 3 classes of 10-12 year old students (approximately 60 students). We would love to learn more about Chinese culture and share our own culture via an email exchanges similar to a pen pal exchange. We would also love to create video performances and share these online as well as communicating in real time via Skype or Polycom. We would be very flexible and our students would exchange emails approximately once a week. </p>

I am after another class of students around the same age (10-13 year olds) who would be interested in exchanging through a number of Internet tools such as blogs, wikis, skype, voicethread etc. We would love to learn more about your class and your country's cultures. It would be also great to develop something special such as a mini cinema night where we create our own movies and exchange them on the web.<br />
All ideas and offers welcome!<br />

Many students today are willing to study abroad with an intention to work and migrate in the country. Every individual have their own reason for studying abroad. But commonly, overseas education is the hot favorite of every student today. The number of such aspirants is increasing day by day.<br />
Apparently a question flashes in mind that why many students are desired for overseas education. There are valid reasons for this change in the thought. Students today are not just satisfying themselves with the efforts of pursuing their education, they are desired to have a wider cosmopolitan exposure and experience. Additionally, the students prefer globally accepted degrees, which are welcomed in all the Countries. One can travel anywhere and live anywhere with dazzling careers with the help of these degrees.
