Bowling Green first

Airplane takes us to the Detroit, that is 1 hour drive from Bowling Green.
We also get glimpse of Perrysburg that is very nice.

We settle to the hotel of Best Western.
Good beds, location near Mac Donalds and Wendy.








Campus is big and lot of things to do. Library is open until 12.00 evening and ICT facilities 24/7. Different kinds of foods in food court. Everything is accessible thru BG card. We got also new email, canvas learning environment, mac laptop, ipad..At home it will be a problem, that I need more these tools when I get custom to it:)

















We have lot of lessons in different categories like curricula development, technology workshops, cross and general cultural topics. Lecture about sexual harassment issues in USA. All tasks are interactive and participatory, so it is good that we learn a lot of new methods.

 Tallest tower teamwork building exercise
 Rules and regulations

  Discussion about dealing with minorities and cultural differences: how same/strangers are treated; race, gender, age, sexuality, disability issues. Methods: Hole in a paper see it close, further. Questioner; Star and a story to rip the star when you are hurt. 


 Flowchart about curricula development and implementation


 Pieces about academic, behavioral, managerial, systems, humanistic, reconceptualist approaches

 Colored pie about your and your school approaches
 Technology class: whatsaaaaappp

Also people are really nice and group is in a good level, so there is a lot to learn from each other in learning but also from cultural aspect vise.

We also met Bowling Green community

Emotsioonid Washingtonist

Drive 3+9 hours pane time.
Topics> cross cultural differences, introducing yourself and your country, everyday object that presents your country. Our was leflector and ID card.

Pictures about: my name in arabic, poster fair, food, Washington, meeting head of the Ebmassy.

.........................

Kohalesõit 3h Mynchen, 9h Washington. Turvakontrolli vahepeal ei läbinud, sest lasti niisama l2bi lipsata. Ka muus osas l2ks libedalt.

Teistel hotellis ikka juhtus: kes jagas tuba inimestega x programmi väliselt. Kes oli liftis kinni jne.
Minul miskit nii erutavat ei juhtunud.

Söök on söödav, tuba hea (ameerika standard).
Inimesed programmi maadest räägivad head inglise keelt(enaus inglise keeele õpetajad).
Asi on kavalalt korraldatud, et kõik kõigiga kokku puutuks.

Teemad:
kultuurilised erinevused
enda tutvustamine ja postrid
isiklik või maad tutvustav asi

Meie valisime tutvustamiseks helkuri. Oli küll ka muid valikuid (parmupill, ib kaart jne), kuid helkur tundus olevat enam igapäevasem:P Samas sai ka turva teemalt id kaart ära mainitud.

Minu nimi Araabia keeles


Eesti poster koos  Riina Hallasega.
"stonia" lööb ka laineid.. nagu Narnia.

Erinevaid rahvaid osaleb programmis 30 maalt, 90 inimest.
Heledapäisemaid on 3: eesti, läti ja poolatar.
Ajavahe muidugi mõjub nii, et kell 4 klõps üleval.

Washingtoni linnas:
Jaht valgele majale (oli teine nurga taha peitunud)


Linnatuur jalgsi ja bussiga:


Kohtumine suursaadikuga:)

Ja söögid on ka ameerika moodi:
