Student Quote“The Global Classroom project was a new experience that opened my mind up to the world. We were able to learn more than what we see in everyday media and textbooks. [I] love learning about new countries and daily life of people outside the United States. I enjoyed learning that somehow no matter what country we live in, we are somehow all connected.”
