Jingwei Viola Liu 

I grew up in China, and as part of the China work group, I was able to contribute unique insights from my experience. But this class also taught me how different each education system is, and made me think about global education. Although I learned about China and Japan from my specific assignments, we were also taught about Europe and other parts of the world. The Asian education system is different than ones in Europe and the United States, so knowing all these differences empowers me to innovate. Even though I plan to work in the Chinese education system, students migrate, and they need to be prepared to flourish in other systems. Also, the Chinese system could be improved by implementing some features of other systems around the globe.

This class gave me a chance to work with other to facilitate developing a shared cultural understanding. Just sharing my insight into the Chinese system from my childhood made me realize how important global issue are, and that we can use contemporary communication and collaboration tools, such as Prezi, to improve our knowledge transfer. Working in globally-minded groups to model use of this shared communication and these shared tools can help all of us better accommodate learners all over the world.
