Hi, My name is Bob Strozeski. I am the technology coordinator for the American International School in Bamako, which is located in Mali, West Africa. My wife and I have been teaching overseas for 18 years. In addition to Mali, we have taught in Venezuela, Brazil, Bahrain, Ethiopia, Taiwan, and Colombia. We have an eight year old son. When we are not working, we like to hang out in our house in Bend.
In this class, I hope to learn how to conduct on-line classes, and how to better utilize blogs, Wikis, chat rooms, etc. for instructional purposes. Some schools in Egypt and Saudi Arabia have already experienced temporary closures because of swine flu. I think it is only a matter of time before our school is closed also. I would like for our teachers to be able to put their classes on-line, so that they can conduct classes from home.

I enjoyed reading your blog posting. A good HS friend and his wife taught oversees for 20+ years in Bahrain and several other countries before coming back to the states to continue their careers. Part of his summer work is to set up teacher exchanges with programs in various countries.
