I will be leaving for Taiwan today. I am still working on my PowerPoint -- I don't know I will use it or not. I don't like PowerPoint, but I will have them just in case. I am planning to show up for my ITEC 830 class on Thursday via online. I hope I will have an Internet connection at 9 a.m in Taipei time, which it is 7 p.m, my class time in California. Peter Hsu who graduated from ITEC department in 2001, then went on for his doctorate in Instructional Technology at University of Idaho invited me to Taiwan. He is now a professor at National Cheng Chi University. It will be fun to see him again, and also speak about the topics that I am passionate about: Technology and Learning. I will speak at two different universities and also two different topics. Here is my itinerary which Peter sent to me:
11/3 (Monday) 00:15 from SFO
11/4 (Tuesday) 06:05 arrive TPE, I will go to the airport, and we will go to our school first and check in. Later in the evening, we will have a reception for you and the other scholar from Canada, Dr. Hackett.
11/5 (Wednesday) You and Dr. Hackett will give speech in the morning at CCU. His topic will be about mobilizing for media reform in Canada: Opportunities, challenges and lessons; after lunch, we will go together to one of the famous hot spring vista point near our school.
11/6 (Thursday) It will be your second speech at CCU; after that, we will go Taipei. (Taipei 101 and the forbidden city)
11/7 (Friday) Your speech will be held at NCCU in Taipei, the College of Communication; then, after a short rest, we will go to the east part of Taiwan, the back garden. We will stay in one of the best hotel there.
11/8 (Saturday) We will go one of the most famous travel spot in Taiwan, Tarroko; and go back To Taipei at 2:30pm. We will arrive Taipei after 4:30pm. Your flight back to SFO will be 23:15 pm.
Would you please reconfirm the topics you are going to give speech to?
at CCU
1. Teaching for Future with Instructional Technology
2. The Impact of Emerging Technology in Education
at NCCU
3. The Impact of Emerging Technology in Education (chosen by their Dean)
We are looking forward to seeing you and with you have a good time with us in Taiwan :-)

Thanks Kim, for sharing your photographs and experiences of Taiwan. I've been there many times, but not for several years. It made me almost homesick (although perhaps nostalgic is a better word; Walter’s blog pictures of East Africa made me homesick in the true sense of the word). The class was in good hands while you were away; Joshua did an excellent job of running the Elluminate session. Have a safe journey home. Gordon.
