I am in a very reflective mood about the work I have been doing in Macau. Whilst I enjoy the aspect of being in the schools and working with staff there to embrace some of the new technologies for learning, I find that Macau is even worse than Hong Kong for understanding English. For this reason, I am always with an interpreter and this makes me feel somewhat ineffective.

The message that I am trying to get across may be quite different from the one that is put across by my non-teacher interpreter.

Still! I am very grateful for the opportunity to be able to speak in schools in the region and demonstrate IWB and other technologies to schools. I always feel that I do at least as much learning as those who listen to me!
