Hello! Welcome to my virtual home office
MUSIC "The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven, Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes..."(Merchant of Venice IV:1). For reality check with rain or snow, try Intellicast.

About Me
Hello! I am CK, a member of the Harvard-Yenching Visiting Scholars Program 1997-98. Having taught in the Chinese University of Hong Kong for six years, last September, I took a one-year leave and came to Harvard to study and to do a piece of research on computer-mediated communication for teaching and learning. I love to learn new things that can help my students and my family. I enjoy learning new technologies for education. Click on my photo and you will see a "monkey king" at work. Click on my name and you'll hear my favourite music.
