Learning that Lasts

Last week I took a class entitled Learning that Lasts. It is all about how about to teach adults, though I think it still definately applied to my future 3rd grade class!! I entered the class kind of intimidated because there were several translators and linguists in there. I also entered knowing that I would have to teach a 40 minute lesson of my choice to these brilliant people!! (SCARY!)

My fears were soon calmed once I realized we were all kind of intimidated! I mean, even for the translators, it was a different story teaching a lesson to your collegues verses teaching a village setting. SO, then I just sat back and enjoyed.

The workshop was very interactive, went by fast and didn't leave very much time to be bored! In presenting lessons, I got to work with a good Pilipina friend of mine. We presented about using a website to tell other people about your ministry, (that was led by me!) and then also the about the importance for foreigners in the Philippines to learn Tagalog. (This encouraged me, to continue keeping up my Tagalog!!)
