2010年11月2日 选举日 & Minca 晚饭





今天是十一月份的第一个星期二，也是美国的选举日（Election Day）。一大早就起来是为了去学校见我mentor，7月份入了美国籍也填了选民登记。过去的五年一直都是在做义工，鼓励大家去投票，鼓励华人参政。如今，我也是合法选民了，所以我也不想放弃这个投票的机会。洗完澡赶紧的找出来我的选民登记的记录，找到我的投票站，我老爹就陪我去了投票站投票。

以前做义工，我还教新等级的华人选民怎么用投票机而我自己去没真正的用过。先在也先进了，在选票上图好候选人的名单拿去扫描，一放进去就好了，也挺省事的。

今天 2010年11月2日 我第一形式了我作为一个美国公民的权利，我的投票权。还是有点小激动。

晚上家里没人做饭，昨晚就召集人一起吃晚饭。在这寒冷的天里，我们在一个朋友的推荐下去了Minca 东村的店。说实话要不是这个朋友推荐，我估计我自己是找不到这里的，Minca位于5th Street在 Ave A和Ave B之间，虽然平时也在东村（East Village）和下东城（Lower East Side）活动，可是真不来这边啊！

言归正传，东西好不错，面条好大一碗，吃的大家挺热乎的。我们一行四个人，可怜的AD同学被抓去开会错过了和我们相间的机会！下次有机会咯~~~~

感谢一起出来吃晚饭的朋友！和尚吃得很开心！

啥话也不说了 上照片吧！

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...
