Just three years ago I was still on a 56k dial-up connection. Now I stream movies and broadcast presentation via the web. Times are changing and as society changes we have to do what we can to keep education changing as well. Hi Jeff,

As a former SAS teacher who arrived in Shanghai in 1997 I can tell you that this is absolutely mind-blowing. When I arrived and asked where the computer lab was I was directed to a small room behind the auditorium (on the OLD Puxi campus building) it was three IBM machines connected to the web...run by a guy named Terry Stevens. We did the best we could in China at that time. We could never have imagined the world you currently described. When I left SAS in 2002 it was a big deal that I had brought the first wireless mobile laptop labs to the middle school science teachers. And conversations were just beginning to emerge about SAS teachers having websites...a hotly debated topic at the time. Looking back there simply is no comparison...the world has fundamentally changed!! Soak it up and enjoy the rest of your time at SAS. Safe travels on the next leg of the journey...look forward to stories from Thailand. Cheers Amazing Jeff, kudos to you and your team.
