Kami~ Thank you for posting the information provided from Mr.Mukai.
I thought it was helpful that he was able to break up each presentation and give us ideas on how to utilize this in the classroom. Mr.Mukai's input helped to put the presentation into perspective on using the information provided: as each presenter shared such valuable information on Islam in China, that it was quite overwhelming for a day's workshop.
As a teacher, I appreciate having the opportunity to have these professors take time out of their schedule to share with us their knowledge. It is unfortunate that many teachers do not have the same opportunities, especially with the circumstances happening in our world today: we need to educate ourselves to give our students accurate information, instead of a bias view.
The visual village is such a great tool to introduce to our students, who are such visual learners.
For me the challenge is gathering all this wonderful information and doing modifications to accomodate my students learning deficits.
