Sorry that I have not written on my bog for the last couple of days. I have been dealing with jet lag and exhaustion. I would like to thank all the people who made my trip possible and who made my trip so memorable. I will never forget the looks on the student’s faces when Jack and I arrived at their schools. Working with the teachers at the Workshop was very enjoyable and it was an honor to share what I have learned in the educational field. I look forward to communicating and interacting with my new friends. I will never forget the people that I interacted with and will never forget the experience. This adventure changes my ideas about education and technology. It also helped me to realize that globalization is needed in every social studies department. I hope that Al-Salam Day School and the schools in Bangladesh become life long partners in this endeavor.

Question 1: The rickshaw ride was a unique experience, but Jack and I both agreed that it was the best place to understand the “senses” of Bangladesh. The car restricted the smell, the sounds, and the sights of Bangladesh, but with the rickshaw you were right in the middle of everything.
Question 2: I could live in either one of the two countries, but my family would have to be with me. Both countries have things I enjoy but, and both countries have their own problems as well. So, the answer would be the United States because that is where my family is.
Question 3: The major difference between American classrooms and Bangladeshi classrooms is the class sizes (Bangladeshi classrooms average 60-70 students for 1 teacher) and the amount of technology that is provided in the American classrooms.
Question 4: My most memorable part of my trip was the time that I interacted with the students of Bangladesh during our visits to Bangladeshi schools and the wonderful conversations that took place during our meals. I learned so much during this adventure.
Question 5: I really didn’t get to see true family life in Bangladesh, but would love to have the opportunity to experience that one-day.
