Thinking about technology

Watching "Did you know iv" was interesting...especially the comments about China. Having lived in Shanghai for 7 months, we quickly realized how behind the US is. Teaching Chinese students is actually fun...even with 35 - 40 students in the class, you will not have a discipline problem. They are motivated to learn, they have respect for teachers and their classmates, and each classroom is well equipped with technology. After 5 weeks I finally got phone service...and I'm still working on getting computers! :)
