Creating this website has been a fabulous experience and the reaction of colleagues and students has been very positive. I've always enjoyed experimenting with technology and computer programs, and I remember using geocities (with a friend's help) to create my first website in the late 90s. The site was more like an online resume, and it was a rather laborious process to get it done, but I ended up with a website that I was able to send along with job applications when I first arrived in Japan in 1999. In 2003, I switched over to Frontpage to create a website so that my family and friends all over the world got a glimpse into my life in Canada. Once I figured out how to use the program, Frontpage provided all the features I needed at that time. However, when my wife and I moved to Vancouver in 2006, I decided to take my website off the Internet, as I was too busy with graduate studies and consequently unable to maintain and update the website. So, a few years later, I am now reconnecting with my passion about the use of technology, and I am excited about creating this website for my classes. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for some more blogpost!
