We have continued to experiment with new hosting strategies, including social media exchanges. We are beginning to gather feedback and reflections on exchanges, which will be synthesized into a final product: a sort of protocol describing the best hosting strategies. I can only speak for myself, but I feel as though our efforts have improved the experience. I think just having the idea that hosting is a privilege and an opportunity to connect and to learn in the back of my mind has motivated me to capitalize on the time I have with the guests as much as possible.
Gabi and I have been meeting with Ms. Chung and Ms. Diederich to strategize about host plans. We also worked with Dr. Wei to facilitate host-guest interaction with PS 161 before the students arrived. We accomplished this with short introductory videos sent via WeChat, a solution that evaded the Great Firewall and pleased the PS 161 administration.
This week we have our French students on campus, and I will write about Poly's experience with them soon.
