Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. I have read and re-read your blog and every time I am blown away and want so badly to spend time just listening to all you’re learning!

Wow, the why couldn’t be more relevant now and I’m so glad that you were able to connect with the Indigenous leaders at RLC. When I speak with @gvogt, I’m…Read more

But many of the same problems exist in a tec…Read more

Here’s hoping the plane takes off tonight. A few flights have already been cancelled today, but so far, none to Toronto.
I’m looking forward to the collaborations that are to be had on Saturday.

Of course, the many (all?) of us who who have watched these plates crash to the…Read more

Many of these action plans share a similar question around how to build learners…Read more

I leverage a variety of methods for helping students to take ownership of and control over their own learning. Have you read Drive by Daniel Pink or Inquiry and Innovation in the Classroom by A.J. Juliani? The former provides its reader with the rationale for including students in lesson planning decisions. The latter provides a…Read more

How we assess and communicate that process has far reaching impacts that go beyond telling the learning / growing story.
