Introduction to My Blogfolio

Blogfolio is currently not a new term to most people, especially students who have taken the course IT 780 from Dr.Yuen. Blogfolio presents a collection of documents which provide a broader understanding and reflection of personal development in some certain knowledge and field.

My blogfolio in this blog is dedicated for Course IT 648 in summer, 2008. In my blogfolio, I will provide a summary and reflection of all my course activities, interactions and readings. I will also use it as a communication tool with my classmates. I will offer reflection on each assignment I have done in this course, and I will also offer a general reflection on this course for the whole semester.

This blog and blogfolio will witness my personal development throughout this whole term, and I hope this blog and blogfolio will also provide a forum for communication with my peers. I am thrilled to share what I have learned and discuss questions with all of you.

Hope you all enjoy reading my blog and blogfolio and all your comments are greatly appreicated!

Self-Introduction

Hi, everyone! Welcome you all to my blog. I am Guoqiang Cui. I also prefer you call me Andy because most of people will have a hard time pronouncing my Chinese name.

This is my second semester as an IT graduate student in University of Southern Mississippi. Before I came here, I worked as an English teacher in China for three and a half years. I enjoyed the teaching experience there but I gradually found out that I need to get more knowledge to enrich myself so I decided to come here for my master’s degree.

Though challenging at first, I am glad to choose IT as my major for I get the chance to know so many useful information and technologies beyond the language world and this greatly helps me broaden my mind. The quality program here also provides me with excellent education and I am quite sure this would be a very helpful experience.

Hope you all enjoy your study and I am glad to work with you all!
