It’s so fast that my first semester in America is over. This 3 months study is so different from my prior experience in Beijing. I had my first blog in this course, and I learned many educational technologies that are very useful and some of them I had even never heard of before.
Trough my own experience during this semester, I found that study initiatively and actively is very significant. Different from Chinese education mode, no one else except yourself push you to learn more. This way of learning gives me more freedom and challenge as well to arrange my own study. I was used to follow the teachers’ direction and just do what they assigned me to do. And gradually I found myself losing interests in learning. However, my study here in IDE program gave me a new concept of learning that I should learn what I have interests in. And the instructor gave students many chances to choose any topic we like.
I’m Very happy to see myself growing up and making improvement during this short period of time. And I look forward the following courses very much.
Thank you Jing for your active participation in every part of our study. And thanks to my classmates that I am very happy studying with all of you.

Lu, I'm glad to see that you have adjusted well into your new studies and you are "growing up" and becoming an independent learner. I believe that you will do very well for the rest of your studies here. Enjoy! :)
ReplyDeleteLu,
ReplyDeletesimilar to my response to Amber's blog, I am upset that I wasn't able to actively follow your blog all semester but I did enjoy going back and reading through your previous posts. I'm sure that it is difficult for you to be going to school here in your first year over from China. When I was 5 I had to go to school in Tokyo for 6 months and I defeinitely struggled to adjust...and I even went to an English speaking school! :) Best of luck as you continue your studies here!
