My name is Jabiz Raisdana. I have a B.A. in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University and an M.A. in TESOL from Teacher’s College, Columbia. I have seven years of teaching experience overseas and have also taught for two years at a high needs high school in New York City. I have taught Language Arts and Humanities. I can also teach Journalism, Global Issues, Geography, and Drama. I am currently the MS/HS ESL teacher at Sinarmas World Academy in Jakarta.
I love teaching and cannot think of any other job that I would rather have. I far more enjoying spending time with young adults than grown ones, and I feel sorry for people who do not have the time to spend with kids.
To learn more about me, please snoop around this site. Start with my philosophy on education.
Hey Jabiz! Welcome to the wonderful world of self-hosted blogging. I’m liking what I’m seeing!
Jabiz – I am looking for a Hero bike, second hand preferably. I see you have a vid riding one around Doha. I am based near Ramada signal and looking to pick one up.
Any ideas on where in Doha?
Cheers
Pete
Hi I was at your blogging, wikis, Google spaces unconferenced chat. I have just got back to Hangzhou and am now looking at your site. OH MY I am totally impressed! This is amazing. I have been trying to find the right method for sharing my own thoughts and ideas but also finding a good one for my art students. I love how everything is together in one place. I noticed sometimes you are using wordpress and other times eblogger is there a reason for that? Would you recommend this for me? I am just starting out. I have an art blog but it is through my school when I leave the school it will be erased as they are changing systems, that really upsets me. I like the idea of having something that lasts where no one will be erasing it. It will be able to carry over from school to school no matter where I am in the world.
On another note my husband and I are thinking of Columbia for our next teaching job, would you recommend it?? THANKS I am so glad I went to your workshop.
Having browsed this I thought it was rather informative.. I cherish you
finding the time to put this material together. I must say, I most likely spent about two hours on your website.
Oh well, it was still worth it.
