Today is the 3rd day of our training. Someone in the group said that if we can survive the training we should be able to survive China!

We started the day with computer information class (e.g., where to find teaching materials on the Internet). We were told that Facebook, Twitter and BlogSpot are currently blocked by the Chinese government. We will try to keep this blog current by emailing information to Stephanie to post for us. There was also some concern that Wikipedia is also blocked.

We had another survival Chinese class, another teaching English as a foreign language class, Chinese history class and a class how to teach writing. In the evening all of the China teachers attended a session in the Provo temple. It was another long, but very enjoyable day. We are getting more and more excited and more and more nervous every day.
