Last summer, from July - August 2012, I had the opportunity to travel to China with Primary Source and Education First on an academic tour for teachers. As a prerequisite of participating in the tour, we completed a course on Chinese history prior to making the journey overseas. The goal was for us to expand our knowledge base, experience the culture, and ultimately, bring the experience back into the classroom by sharing it with our students.

We were also lucky to have Dawn Moline, a talented photographer, traveling with us on our trip! The trip lasted two weeks. We visited Beijing, Dunhuang, Xi'an, Hangzhou, and Shanghai.
