I expect to spend time critically looking at different technology and programs, examine how they are used in the classroom and how they can be used to redesign tasks and projects to give students a better chance to show their learning and growth.

Here's a old, but effective overview of what China’s internet is like.

I have never been more connected to technology since moving to Asia. After moving to South Korea, I was immersed in their fast-moving tech field, as I watched my friends and students get new technology on a month to month bases. Korea’s internet speed and WiFi coverage made sure that the entire country was covered in high-speed internet. While both of my schools are 1 to 1, China has been so much more integrating with technology. With the ridiculously powerful apps such as Wechat and Alipay dominating every part of the daily life here. Nowadays, my phone is never further from 3 feet from my person.

My name is Erin Garcia. I am currently a MYP Design Technology Teacher at Beijing City International School, in Beijing China.
This year I teach 7th and 8th-grade Design with a variety of different units and topics.  This is my second year in Beijing at BCIS. Before this, I lived in South Korea for 3 years as a science teacher at Korea International School, Jeju Campus.

This carries into my professional live as well. I do not have email lists, I have Wechat groups. We raise fundraisers using Wechat pay, send out reminders on mega groups and moments. We use and create QR codes daily and most collaboration happens on Wechat. While we do have to contend with the Great Firewall, we have VPNs and many different ways to get around the wall to the internet. We also teach our students how to get around the wall and continue to expose them to the outside internet.

I have a cat who has traveled with me since college. I believe she prefers the Beijing apartment to the other apartments, so far.

I love Disney and often travel to the different Disneylands in Asia.

I also love traveling and almost all activities with that; scuba diving, hiking, climbing, photography eating random things.
