In China, we use less technology than America. So I’d like to be acquainted with the use of various technological tools. After Nikki’s class today, I’m interested in Postcards and Talking Heads, which place emphasis on the authentic sharing of information.
I created my personal blog years ago. my students often give me some comments on my posts. I think this is a good way to shorten the distance between the teacher and the student.
In the new semester, I will try to use the blog which created in www. blogspot.com today in my teaching.
I teach English majors in China, they want to know more things about Western countries. Cathy and I just instruct a student’s project which aims to be a bridge between the American students and Chinese students. We want to help them plan a bilingual web site on the World Wide Web and help them design and edit the web site, which includes textual information about their universities and also they can learn background cultural information about current events and attitudes in America and China.
Nice Post! Would you be willing to share the blog address that you have already used with students? I would be interested in seeing that!
ReplyDeleteI also think your project with Cathy sounds great. Maybe when we meet with the Chinese teachers at PSU for a discussion you can make more American contacts for future projects.
I like how you say that having a blog can "...shorten the distance between the teacher and the student." Very true!
ReplyDeleteThank Nikki and Michelle!
ReplyDeleteAfter the 1st week, I learnd a lot.
I'm willing to share ideas of teaching with you,even when we are in China.
I also hope this programme will shorten the distance between you and us.
That sounds great!
