New York, New York

Well here I am in New York City which is difficult to believe. New York City is the most heavily populated city in the United States of America with a population of in excess of 8.1 million people living in an area of 322 square miles. There appears to be no centimetre of space that is not used by people, buildings, yellow cabs etc. It is amazing.

Today I met with Alison Rice, at Hunter College, City University of New York. This is a University right in the heart of Manhattan - just a buzz of students and life. Alison is the Director Of Hunter College's IELI (International English Language Institute) and ELT (English Language Teaching) Institute.

Alison and I had an interesting discussion about online learning and the differences in our two teaching environments. We were joined by Anne Ediger, Chair, Department of Curriculum and Teaching. The three of us exchanged lots of worthwhile information about education and living in New York City. Anne is coming to Australia later in the year and may even come to Cowra to visit us and see what we do! I did mention that Cowra is quite a bit different to New York City!

Thank you Alison for giving up your time for me today!

Hi Sal,

What a fantastic trip you're having. Looking forward to hearing more about the huge variety of technologies you've seen.

It was fantastic to hear from you the other day. We were in the FMG at the Faculty Forum in Orange when you rang. Everyone said to say "Hi!"

Sue Press gave her session on e-texts at the Forum and the workshop participants had a look at your blog.

Love ya

Chris Leys
