Hello from Kelowna, BC
Hello All,
My name is Lisa and I currently live in Kelowna, BC, Canada. Today it will be a balmy 30 oC here. I have been working at Dr. Knox Middle School for the past 7 years and teach Science 8 and 9, as well as Math 9.
This is my fifth MET course. I just finished a summer of doing two MET courses, so going back to one will be a nice change of pace. Oh wait, I’m back to working full-time. Oh well, I tried. I have enjoyed my courses so far and like the collaboration and feedback that I have received from others on assignments and discussion posts.
I don’t have much experience with entrepreneurial adventures, but I thought this course would be interesting because it comes from an educational point of view on business. I think educators need more of a voice in the business aspects or creation of technology because they are in the trenches using them.
I look forwards to meeting and working with this ETEC 522 cohort group.

Hi Lisa,
kudos to you for doing tow courses at once. I am sure it will be nice to take one course while you are back to work.
I felt the same way about this course. It is definitely a different concept then the other courses offered and will help us all to have a different vantage point for educational technology. I look forward to interacting with you in the course.

Yeah, two courses was enough for me (especially while starting them at the end of the school year), but I did have July off to work on them. Good luck in this course,

Hi John,
Did your dad end his career at RSS? If yes, then I know who he is. I will definately say hello to Leo and Marlon for you.

Hi Lisa,
Nice to meet another Kelowna teacher here and congrats for reaching the half way mark of the MET program. My two sisters live in Kelowna and I always go visit them and I had a chance to drive by your school many times. Such a nice campus! It is a challenge to teach grade 8th and 9th I guess, especially with the Math subject where things start to be difficult for them.
