二〇〇九年四月二十日 星期一 来美周年纪念

时间过得真快，一晃又到4/20。回想过去，一切还都是那么的清晰！2005年的4月20，我坐在CA981上飞离北京直达纽约JFK！
飞机落地，坐在去住处的汽车上，透过车窗看着窗外的景物并没有什么不一样的感觉。哦~~原来我住的地方是Brooklyn！顺利的入学了，认识了一些新的朋友，一切都还顺利。有个同学翘课去游逛传说中的时代广场，我对此却没有任何兴趣。穿梭在曼哈顿中城的楼宇之间我才感觉到一些城市的气息，原来这就是纽约？
四年的时间匆匆流逝，出国的选择，没有谁对谁错！不管在哪里，我头顶上都有我的一片天。无论身在何处我依然爱着我的北京，也热爱我现在生活的地方。四年的时间，改变了我很多，历练了我不少，也经历了许许多多的事情！从迷茫，混沌的我逐渐变成成长的我，有了自己的目标，计划着未来的路！一切都在努力中！四年中，顺利的从一名高中生成为一名大学生，为了自己的学业和以后的路，我仍在这条路上打拼着。父母当初的期望也就是让我出国继续改造。四年了，对自己的认识更加清楚，应该说是有了一个新的认识，从品性，习惯，自我认同，自我认识上都达到了一个新的阶段！也许来的太突然，也许来的很震撼！但是我已经坦然接受这个事实！
四年的时间，经历了很多！接触了各式各样的人和事！鲜花，掌声，各种荣誉，光环的围绕，云里雾里的，但是我要认清我自己！生活的快乐与痛楚一并进行着！
路在我的脚下，要我自己走！我依然努力的在打造我的那片天空！紫色的心情有喜有悲，紫色心情的lxjs祝福所有人一切顺利！每个人都有自己的生活方式。而我，继续演绎着和尚版本的和尚在纽约。

Reflections on Online Teaching: Challenges, Adaptations, and the Future of Digital Learning

Image
Online teaching and learning are no longer novel concepts—especially after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the world into a remote working and learning environment. That period also marked my first experience teaching an online math course at New York University School of Professional Studies. While online education is here to stay, my journey with it has been both rewarding and challenging.  Initially, I appreciated the convenience of not having to commute to a physical classroom. However, as a math instructor, I quickly realized the difficulties of engaging students in an online setting. Mathematics is inherently procedural, and fostering discussion isn’t always as effective as seeing students’ step-by-step work to assess their understanding. Typing equations is far less intuitive than handwriting, which presented another hurdle.  To address this, I invested in an XP-Pen, a digital drawing tablet typically used by graphic designers. This tool allowed me to annotate PowerPoint s...

How I Use AI to Strengthen My Writing Process

As a former English Language Learner and now an educator, I’ve developed a writing process that balances creativity with structure. When approaching assignments—like this blog post—I always start with free writing. I jot down every idea, memory, and professional insight that comes to mind, without worrying about grammar, spelling, or even coherence. For me, capturing the raw thoughts is the most important step; refinement comes later. Once I have my draft, I turn to AI tools (like this one!) for help organizing my ideas into a cohesive, logical flow. I’ll paste my unstructured notes and ask the AI to: Restructure my points for clarity and impact. Polish language without losing my authentic voice. Bridge gaps between personal anecdotes and broader themes (e.g., connecting my high school blogging to modern online pedagogy). This collaboration feels empowering. The AI doesn’t replace my thinking—it elevates it, helping me articulate complex reflections (like cognitive load theory or async...
