GCC to once again present at NMSA Conference

GCC to offer classrooms connections in Thai for all schools in Thailand and in Japanese for all Schools in Japan.

For many teachers the thought of building a joint website seems much too difficult to undertake. The GCC program makes it very simple but for teachers who are not native English speakers the fear of unfamiliar computer technology combined with the challenge of using English is just one obstacle too many. So to introduce Thai and Japanese teachers to how simple and rewarding the GCC program can be, beginning in 2006 the GCC is making its program available to teachers in both Thailand and Japan to connect with schools in their own country in their own language. Look for the Thai and Japanese flags to appear soon at the top right hand corner of our home page.
