2009年6月20日星期六 【周五小记】之晚餐和打麻将






一大早起来，而且是星期五，又没有summer school，本想好好睡个懒觉。不成啊~~你问我为啥呢？因为要去换发护照！虽然说是年底12月中旬过期，我近期也不急着回国，不过还是换了吧！【换护照小记】过一阵子在忽悠一下！一切都挺顺利！
护照都弄完了，也就中午了！坐着地铁，晕晕乎乎的就去了Flushing！午饭时间，直奔黄金商场，在西安名吃买了一份凉皮，一个羊肉肉夹馍！吃得好饱，悠哉~~~~~~~
我supervisor，也不算是，算是朋友，mentor？搞不清怎么说这层关系。她是6/20号过生日，所以我们几个挺不错的 高中同学和朋友们决定今晚给她一起庆祝生日！我俩生日离得不远，就算一起过了！我们去的是Queens那边的一家菲律宾餐馆。这还是我第一次在餐馆里吃菲律宾菜！上次倒是去哥伦比亚大学参加过一次他们的活动，品尝过一次！还成！我们就八个人，吃了好多！那个猪腿的东西不错！我喜欢！最后的大骨头还是让我给啃了！哈哈！
吃晚饭，也就8点来中，天还亮着呢。我们决定去我supervisor一起闲侃！路上经过超市买了一些cherry。到了以后，他们开了一瓶酒，问这气味和浓烈！反正我不喝的，看他们喝！后来发现有麻将，反正人也够，一起玩吧！我们这一桌四个人，有两个福州人，一个台山人，一个北方人，貌似玩的都多多少少有点不同。统一以下规则，就按qq麻将的来！
一边吃cherry，一边玩麻将，一边磕瓜子！大家玩得挺开心！

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

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...
