This is something I am very interested in, but unfortunately it will be 6 AM in the morning here in Kazakhstan. I will definitely watch the “recap” and see what I can do!

We’d be absolutely over the moon to have someone from Kazakhstan joining #globalclassroom! We’ll post the link to the recording, and slide notes on the blog in a day or so.
