My mission is to harness Cloud computing and social media resources to enhance the performance of Learning and Teaching . In 2000, I began My Experiments with Web Teaching Tools. By 2006, "Integrating Web Resources into Teaching Life Cycle" become my professional mission. Since then, my experiment has  grown in many directions-exploring and integrating the existing and emerging tools into my teaching and learning process.  A lot has changed since the use of only web resource available then - e-mail ; Today web has become more pervasive and resourceful and many innovations - social networks and wiki and more have appeared. But some things haven’t changed-  my desire  to explore and my dedication to learning and teaching  community. On these pages, you can find more information and links about Web 2.0 and Social Media Tools for Teaching and Learning and Cloud Computing
