New Activities
April 10, 2013

I recently received word I have been accepted to the District Technology Committee (Greater Victoria School District) as a teacher representative for the Greater Victoria Teachers’ Association. I anticipate an interesting time on this committee. The role of Wi-Fi in schools in being hotly debated without much input from teachers and I always like to add my two cents worth. The use of technology in schools seems to polarize viewpoints and opinions; I hope we can find some middle ground!

I have also agreed to work with the Ministry of Education committee developing the “Creative Thinking Cross-Curricular Competency Continua”. I hope the work is as important as the title sounds. There is some really great thinking in BC’s Education Plan and I look forward to fleshing it out and making it real for students and teachers without a recycling of IRP’s and PLO’s.
