I’m reposting this as I think it went to the wrong place the first time:
Hi, My name is Suhayl Patel and currently reside in Calgary Alberta. This is my 6th course in the MET program and am looking forward to working and learning through out this term. I have never taken a course that was located on a blog and am interested in this first-time experience.
Currently I work with the Calgary Board of Education as a Learning and Innovation Specialist. I’m still trying to determine what my role in this position as I’ve only been here for two weeks, but there seems to be a lot of interesting things in the works. In the evenings I facilitate an upgrading Math course for adults at a local college.
Given my new position, I am looking forward to learning about everything this course has to offer and hope to apply what I gain into my professional practice. Through this course I hope to gain an understanding on how to exist on the innovator side of Rogers Curve of Innovation.
Looking forward to an exciting and informative term,
Suhayl

Hi Tom,
This is absoutely an amazing role. A lot of work that I currently do is directly related to new initiatives that we are trying to implement as a board and a lot of it requires us dealing with corporate partners like Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. I am definitely gaining a more corporate/business experience as opposed to the classroom experience that i’ve had in the past.

Hi Suhayl,
I think we were in ETEC 530 together. I haven’t taken a course that is offered from a weblog but have created sites on this weblog in a few other courses. Gives you an opportunity to go back and re-visit some of your old work and look at it with a fresh view and edit.
