Check In


Hi, I am here! I am coming back!
It seems that I have been away for a long time. Actually I have never left the blog for a single day. After Dr. Quek introduced blog to us, I already had some ideas how to apply it into my daily work, how to introduce blog to my students and help them to improve their Chinese. Not only helping them to improve their language ability, but also building up their Characters, nurturing the whole child to help them be the best they can be.
I would like to help them to create an environment where they can feel safe to express their opinions and feelings, get support and encouragement from their peers and friends. And motivate each other to learn, to grow together. Now I can say, I keep my promise, I have done it!
I did introduce blog to my students. They started to create their own blogs from this school year. Guess what? Some of them started to love blogging! They wrote Chinese e-journals on their blogs, decorated their blogs to make them attractive, and gave comments to each others’ blogs.
Blogging becomes a habit of my students, they do it from their intrinsic motivation. I am really happy to see the outcomes.
