			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><img src="http://jasonwelker.welkerswikinomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/facenew.jpg" alt="Jason" align="left" height="112" hspace="20" vspace="20" width="77" />I am a teacher of <strong>economics</strong> and <strong>history</strong> in international schools. I have lived and worked in Malaysia, the US, Thailand, China, and Switzerland.</p>
<p align="left">The purpose of this site is to introduce to viewers my experience in education, my applications of technology, and my philosophy regarding teaching and learning. The page should be easy to navigate. At the top are tabs that will lead you to some basic information about my background and areas of teaching and learning. On the right of the page are updates from the blogs and wikis I maintain for my students and other teachers.</p>
<p align="left">In addition to blogging about economics for my students, I also contribute to a widely read educational technology blog. In addition, I maintain an award-winning wiki for my economics students. These sites can all be followed from here, but I encourage you to explore my use of the tools of Web 2.0 to learn more about how you might implement these technologies into your own careers, whether as eduacators or other professionals.</p>
<p align="left"> Thanks for visiting my site. Please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions.</p>
