Hello from Europe.
Hi, My name is Shaun. I am currently travelling and taking 3 MET courses. This will be my second, third, and fourth courses of the program. I enjoy songwriting, music composition, sports and travel. I will be teaching english in Shanghai starting in October and have previously taught at an Island Pacific School on Bowen Island.
I am looking forward to learning more about current technologies and ventures to see how to leverage them in the classroom. My ultimate goal would be to teach through an online medium so that I could pursue my two biggest passions. Teaching and travelling. I think digital teaching and learning has an ability to create global education and access everywhere.
In this course, I hope to meet lots of people and get inspired to be a better educator. I also hope to foster a little entrepreneurial spirit in my project work.
Look forward to connecting on Google + and Linkedin
Shaun

Sounds like a busy schedule of learning and traveling (which will most likely expand your understanding of technology and society by viewing it from a more global sense). Can’t wait to reflect on your insights.
