I rarely get the opportunity to join a conference outside of my subject matter (Teaching English as a Second Language) or sector (not-for-profit, settlement, language) and for the past several years I have usually been presenting. This will be the first time that I have gone to a conference and not known a single person. Although I am […]

The formal learning year and work does not leave much time for personal pursuits and I need balance. Balance for me, seemingly, only happens in large […]
ETEC512 Applications of Learning Theories to Instruction, my first course in the Master’s of Educational Technology program at UBC is almost done. There is only one first and every course from here will be bench marked against this experience or at least my every changing memory of this experience. This post is a collection of […]
