I think that we all need to learn something everyday. Actually, more to the point, I think we all do learn something everyday, we just need to pay more attention and realize that we did. At any rate, today I learned a few things from @dougpete. Go figure. I learned that Windows Live Writer for [...]
So what?
I can hear some of you now. What’s a tweet? What does it matter?
I think it matters a great deal, and it speaks to some of the issues that I think we are having in education in general, and in science education in particular. In one of the sessions today at the [...]
Ok, this could get messy. I apologize in advance for those that I’m about to annoy.
I’ve spent the last 2 days at the STAO Conference, which is a great conference for science teachers to learn new things, get new resources, share the best teaching ideas and go back to their schools energized and ready [...]
Day 2 of STAO had a weird start for me. I woke up intending to run up to ECOO for the day, as there were a number of session that I wanted to attend. Unfortunately I didn’t feel very well. I actually started to drive up the 401 HWY to get to [...]

Now that the Arctic 2009 trip is behind me and I’ve had a week or so at home to process and consider the experience, there’s a few things that have occurred to me that I think I’d like to share.
The experience for me had several levels. On one level, there was simply the experience [...]
And we’re off!
Big day yesterday, started at 5 AM in Ottawa and ended at 11PM in Ungava Bay cruising north. Our flight to Kuujuaq was good, and easy, and the community had a few things planned for us that we took part in. A celebratory send off and a BBQ were very well [...]
I’ve been home for a few days now, and I’ve been trying to work up the brainpower to come up with some great posts that describe the trip to Baffin Island with SOI. Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to do it! So, in the interim, I’ll be posting the journal entries that I [...]
