I am Yuhong. I was born and brought in Chongqing, China. I came to America in February 1999. I came to do my research on Nathaniel Hawthorne. My sponsor, Dr. Mundo, took me to The House of Seven Gables in Salem, Massachusetts. He also took me to the library in the University of Maine to borrow books and do research. I was so lost in the technology...

That was the beginning of my pursuit of instructional technology.

On this page, I will tell you a little bit of myself.

Background Education Childhood Comparison

 

Chongqing is well-known for its education and culture. There are many famous colleges and universities there. I am lucky to have good education. I majored in English as a second language in college and had become a teacher of English after graduation. In 1993, I dreamed of becoming a lawyer and decided to go to a law school. After 3 years' good efforts, I got my law degree. However, after working part-time in a law firm for about a year, I found that my real interest was still in teaching. I missed the smiling faces of my students. In 1996, I went back to the graduate school to specilize in English literature and I earned the Master Degree of Education in English Literature in 1998.

In 1999, I left my hometown Chongqing and came to America to do my research in Nathaniel Hawthorne in the University of Maine. I was so amazed at the computer technology in the university that I decided to pursue computer education. I got my M. Ed in Instructional Technology in 2001.

I enjoy being a computer teacher at Noble High School. I like to update my knowledge by going back to school once in a while. I have taken six more computer courses after the graduation. I am planning to keep taking classes and become a life-long learner.
