It’s been a few days since I wrote anything down. We’ve been touring around the south east coast of Baffin Island. We’ve had some cool things happen. We’ve stopped and done tours in a few different locations. We did a zodiac tour around a bird colony at Hanzsch Island which [...]

Today we awoke as we were cruising out of the fiord where we had spent the night in a quiet, non-rocking state. We were headed out for a place called Monumental Island, which we never got to. In the AM we started some workshops, and got about 20 minutes in when the [...]

August 1st – Part 2
First full day at sea, and what a day. The Hudson Strait was rocking and rolling with a pretty good swell, and the morning quite quickly turned sour for many people. There was a lot of horizontal positions today as seasickness took precedent for many of the students and [...]
For the past 9 months, I’ve been in an acting role as an Instructional Leadership Consultant in my school board. It means that I’ve not taught in a classroom this year for the first time in a dozen years. I’ve been so busy with the new position, that I really haven’t had a [...]
On April 28th, 2009 at 3:30 PM EDT, I’ll be giving a presentation about how to use Ustream.tv in education. I’ll be giving the presentation to educators as part of ECOO webinar series. You can also access the URL page from here. Pop by and see how it goes!
I spent today at the Peterborough Regional Science Fair hosted at Trent University. There were over 300 students from across the region from 2 different school boards and a number of private schools. I was impressed by the repesentation from the private school sector and that motivates me to continue to support project based learning [...]
