Hi Everybody,
My name is Brendan Alexander. I’m originally from Vancouver, but currently live with my wife in Dallas, TX. Here’s what we look like:
This is my 4th MET course, and I’m delighted to see a few familiar faces… er, names.
I am a curriculum writer and language teacher. Currently I am working on a curriculum project that bridges Chinese and Korean middle-school aged students into the Canadian public school system. I last taught in June at a school in Vancouver. Previous to that I spent a year teaching in Saudi Arabia, and 3 years teaching in Seoul, Korea.
I think this course really jumped out at me because, first and foremost, it sounds really interesting. I am always captivated by innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit. After reading the course description I got really excited thinking of possible pitch ideas! I have been taking mostly theoretical courses at this point, so it’s really refreshing to do something a little more creative.
Other than that, I’m glad to meet you guys!
Brendan
Hi Brendan nice to meet you. Texas, lots of history in the state? I look forward to learning with you.

What a great collection of educational memories you must have! All that experience must surely be paying off. I look forward to working with you this term! Best of luck!
Hi Brendan. Great to ‘meet’ you. That is a great picture of you and your wife. At first I thought it might have been taken in Europe, but then realized I have no idea what Texan architecture looks like!?! Regardless, it sounds like you do interesting work remotely. My ultimate goal….All the best, Diane
Hi. It’s actually not Texas architecture, which I guess would be strip malls, its Gastown in Vancouver. That’s the patio at Chill Winston. If you have any questions about telecommuting feel free to ask, I have a pretty good feel for it now.
Hi, yeah I had a fair few good memories. It’s nice being in one place now that I’m older and married, but the travel was a lot of fun in my 20s.
Hi Dale,
Nice to meet you too. There is a fair amount of history in Texas. Unfortunately, the big cities like Dallas and Houston don’t do a great job preserving it. New and Modern seems to be the main objective for city planners. Too bad, I can’t imagine how much history has been lost because of it.
Hi Brendan,
Nice to see you again, your wife is gorgeous BTW! Looking forward to working with you again this term and reading your always funny posts !

Hi Brendan,
Nice to meet you – I do agree with you in that it will be nice to try a course that deals with new and relevant creative content.
Cheers,
