Classroom Renovations Day 0

Last day in our classes before turning it over to the builders.  Spent a long hard week and weekend moving out and preparing to be in the hall.  The move to the hall in itself is not a major ordeal.  The issue is being portable.  Being able to move into the hall and set up every morning and to pack up and clear the hall every afternoon.  It is about planning to secure 70 devices in a space that we have to move out of everyday.  It's about planning to store them somewhere secure in a very public space at morning teas and lunchtimes.  Making sure there are charging stations set up daily.  It's about planning to store the devices somewhere secure every night.  It's about having the resources we will need to teach and learn set up so that they can be stored and set up again at the beginning of each day.  You try the best you can to get these things ready, but in the end you never know how it will be.

Chinese Language Week - Day 2 - Tuesday

In researching how to write Tuesday in "Chinese" I was aware there are at least 3 languages including Shanghainese, Cantonese and Mandarin. It's not as straight forward as that. Earlier, I chose a translation that I thought was dragon in a class activity today. The fluent Cantonese and Mandarin speakers in my class did not recognise the symbol. I was embarrassed that I had made a mistake which is one of the pitfalls of cross-cultural analysis. There are always positive outcomes for every situation and we were able to have a discussion about where the symbol may have originated. Another positive outcome is that I am extremely aware of my cultural limitations. So this will result in me asking more questions, seeking more input from experts in our class and in the community. As you can see, I was not confident enough in what I found on the internet to use it in my blog title. An opportunity for further learning. One of the challenges this week is to; LEARN - the signs o...
