to be honest, most of what we heard in the first two days is not new to my ears, but it set me to thinking, to digging deeper, and to seeing "with new eyes". each of our four teachers has her or his own strong points and weaved them into their classes. inspiring michell (like a elder sister), smart nikki (a cute lovely young girl), scholarly jim (sometimes i feel he is more likely to be a poet or artist), and well-organized gena (sorry for her leg).
while i was listening to them, i was always reflecting on how i can put what they say into my classes back in china, whether i have tried best in my work, and what will be better for my students. i am sure my students will see some changes in their "old" teacher, and hope those will be changes for better.
missing my students, missing my babies...........
oh, gena, if u happen to get here (most probably not, i know ur attitude towards "technology" :=). above is the pic of my babies.
