Spring Break 2011 EARCOS Conference

Kota Kinabulu, Borneo, Malaysia 

Spring Break began for Myron and I with a conference for educators held in Kota Kinabulu.  The conference provided a good opportunity for us to get to know some of our fellow teachers better as well as to learn about some of the latest technological educator tools in the classroom.  The conference was held at a beautiful resort, and was one of the nicest and best conferences that I have ever attended for teaching.  They held an opening and a closing reception for us- both of which were very nice- and provided a wide range of workshop options to attend. 

Here are some picture highlights: 

 The hotel was stunning.  We also got to watch one of the most beautiful sunsets that I have ever seen. 

We also decided to get out and explore, so we went to the Klia River, on a dusk/ evening cruise, where we saw probiscus monkeys (long nose monkeys)- though we never got close enough to see its long nose.  We also tried to catch some fish, and saw fireflies after we finished eating dinner and as we floated back down the river.   The best part was just being on the boat- it was a relaxing and fun evening.
