It is always exciting to join the new SI and meet new teachers from the CU area. We have another group of talented teachers, some are from content areas, whom we didn’t normally have.

A pity I can’t come in the morning this year when they are doing the demos, a part that I think the most informational. Will be another busy 4-week.

I wonder how writing teacher from China will react to the ideas present by the summer institute. Learning writing has not been a pleasant experience for me. I had always been hated writing, since it was so hard. Now it is still hard, but I am starting to like writing a little bit everyday. Isn’t it a big change for me?

I seldom visited Chinese website where teachers exchange their ideas. Today, when I was browsing the web, some sites attracted me. Check this out: a writing teacher in China talking about how she motivated students (Sorry it is in Chinese).

It was fun collecting video footages and edit them in a customized way. Learning how to edit videos makes me want to revisit some old videos my husband and I had during vacation. Will do it this weekend!
