First, I really apprecciate that Freeman Foundation, Unitred States Department of Education (National Consortium for Teaching about Asia), USC-China Institute to give me (us) this wonderful opportunity.

In this session, I learned new and interested things. For example, 200 million Chinese people use internet (this is more than any other countires.) I knew that many Japanese people use cell phone for internet, games, and movies (especially Anime for young generation). I learned that Korea has the highest level of internet connections (this is new to me). Another interest examples were: comparison of Vincent Van Gogh and Tamagochi, Pikachu. Also comparison of 2 internationally historical famouse people on money: Fukuzawa Yukichi and Ben Franklin.

I teach language, and teaching the culture is the important component: including historical back grounds, philosophy, literature, and arts. I will use the lessons I learned today to motivate my students.

I am looking forward to learning more!
