[Voiceover - Tara]
At my last school, we could work together online which really helped if you got stuck on a subject or if you were doing a homework assignment together. That doesn't happen here. It's probably because the internet is so slow.

In the future, every student will have equal access to digital communication and learning tools wherever they are.

My first assignment was about endangered species in Australia. I found my old friend Louise online and we are working on it together. It's so nice to feel connected even though we live so far apart.
