by [|Georgia DeMesa] - Thursday, 26 August 2010, 10:07 PM || My name is Georgia deMesa. As a former educator of elementary level students over twenty five years and now working as a district high school librarian, I am finding reward equal to what I experienced seeing the "ah-haa" on the one of the faces of primary students, now on the faces of high schoolers when they walk out the library door with ample materials/resources/links to attempt to research a topic on what the student is learning. I am an aunt to nine nieces and nephews, four new nephew and nieces -in-laws, a sister to three siblings and am trying to spend more time with friends and family. I have had the good fortune of touring the classrooms of Beijing in '98, so I have observed the education process in China and Hong Kong. Knowing the students in the Orient are "disciplined " to focus on learning from age five on, I am very enthusiastic to help high schoolers become "at ease" becoming discerning information researchers, not just project completers. I am looking forward to this class and become knowledgable to the best of my ability with this course to experience. ||
