Shao's posting is a very typical description of what most of classrooms are. Because of limitation of the mateial conditions, it's really hard for classrooms in China to use IT a lot in classroom teaching.
I like your design of the blog,because the color is associated with romance.
What's more, I agree with you that most of the classrooms in our province are not the same scene as Bill Gates had described. But I hope that the picture will come true one day.
I don't think we have finished the assignment of last week. I have some resonsibity to do with it. I'm now trying to find sth. on the Web about IT educational policy in our country. Would you like to join me and search some information and post it? Thanks.
xiao wanzi, if you are interested in finding other countries' IT policy, just go ahead for it. I have found some relevant information about China IT education policy and posted it. you may have a look and comment on it.
dear xiao wanzi,
i want to kindly remind you about your assignment. i don't have to but i do this just in case you forgot to finish them. there are two main things you need to do at present: one is comment on your group members' blog; the other is posting your response to the article posted by Mark. Wish to see your response soon.
