Every once in a while, we as teachers get the opportunity to experience that magical moment when our students' eyes are opened to a new world. In the Information Age that we live in, with digital access to everything at our fingertips, these moments are few and far between, so I was lucky to experience this precious moment in my English lesson with my Lao,Vietnamese, Chinese, and Pakistani students.
