While most students aren’t able to travel across the globe, teachers can bring cultures from many places into the classroom through videoconferencing.

Language teacher and world traveler Akash Patel knows the academic value of immersive language and cultural experiences, which is why he regularly connects his students to people around the globe via video calls—and helps other teachers do the same, so they can start making cultural exchanges through technology in their own classrooms.
