Ahlan from Abu Dhabi :)

Hi my fellow 522ians,

My name is Mehdia Lodhi or Ms. L to my students. I teach in an American school of Abu Dhabi. This is my first year teaching in the UAE.  I am from Toronto, ON. This is my 3rd MET course. I decided to take this MET course so that I can get a better understanding of emerging markets for learning technologies in both public and commercial domains.

On a personal note, 3 men are extremely near and dear to me. My hubby & my 2 awesome boys.

Looking forward to learning together.

    Hi Ahlan, I just wanted to comment on your posting. I really love your photos of Abu Dhabi. How is teaching over there? I am looking for work come September, and want to teach abroad, but I’m not sure about cultural factors in these cities, such as freedom of expression. I am a quite liberal guy, and I know that the UAE are pretty conservative. Perhaps, you can enlighten me? Thanks!

    Hi Peter,
    Here in UAE people are very open and moderate. Overall the job market is pretty dynamic and great. We have tax free salary. The only major expense is renting a place. Let me know if you are interested and serious in applying, I can suggest you more info 🙂 Mehdia
