Hi from Hong Kong

Hi Everyone. My name is Sean McMinn. This is my 7th MET course, and I’m pretty excited to be (virtually) here.

I teach English at a university here in Hong Kong, and I love it. The job is great, the people are nice, and life is simply interesting and always adventurous. So far, I’ve been enjoying the MET programme — which has helped me advance in my career over the past year or so. In particular, I’ve been able to embed podcasts (http://campusbeat.ust.hk) and wikis into courses successfully thanks to what I’ve learned though the programme.

I’m looking forward to ETEC522 because I lack entrepreneurial skills and would like to explore business opportunities … some day. More immediately, I would like to enhance my intrapreneurial (new word for me) skills. As I learn more through the MET programme I see opportunities for developing or enhancing technologies to be used at our university. To do this, though, I need to apply for funding. If I can improve on my “pitches” or selling, I would be happy.

I’m looking forward to working with everyone. (I can’t believe the summer break went by so fast!)

How is HK treating you Sean? I just got back from there a few weeks ago. Great place, aside from the summer heat. Now that I’m back in Vancouver I’m really happy I left; aside from the super high real estate prices :S

Any place to return from HK?

Hi Sean,

I believe you’re in the Module 8 group along with Jen W., Ian D., and I. Perhaps you could forward your email address so we can communicate on our group project. My email is epao@shaw.ca. Thanks.

Ernie
