On the Title

Roi-Et a.k.a. "101" is a city in the northeast of Thailand. I spent more than "One Night in Bangkok," and was on my way to Roi-Et. It wasn't my final destination in Thailand, but the place where I grew the most. I gained a tolerance for spicy food, and learned a little dialect called Essan-- a mixture of Laos and Thai. I learned that it's not the destination but the journey that matters. Just as random as my adventures were in Thailand, so is my life--it's like living in L.A. (oh by the way L.A. is another nickname for Roi-Et).

The News of the Future

One of my classes this summer is a media/technology class. It has opened my eyes to a whole new world. I now realize how important using technology in the classroom is. I am also learning about all the cool new devices coming out, especially the technology they are using on the Nightly News with Brian Williams. When I saw this I thought, are you kidding?!

White boards are actually a very effective teaching tool. I have a class set, and each group had a bucket of "tools": crayons, red pens, erasers, highlighters, post-it, dry erase markers. These were our tools we used each day, and they had a supply manager in the group for the week in charge of the stuff. Anyways, white boards are a fabulous tool and a great way to get students engaged in the lesson. I have lots more tips if you need any
