Good evening everyone. My name is Patrick and I live in the Ottawa region. ETEC522 and ETEC565 will be my 7th and 8th courses in a thrilling ride across the MET program. I am a high school information technology teacher and run a specialized focus program where students from the Ottawa region come to our school to take a full semester of computer courses.<\/p>\n

When I’m not busy teaching, I spend time as the school’s computer resource and troubleshooting expert, an advisor and photographer for the yearbook committee, a supervisor for after-hours computer troubleshooting, or as a statistician for our school’s football team.<\/p>\n

If that doesn’t keep me busy enough, I have two beautiful young girls (Am\u00e9lie 3 and Annabelle 1) who wait patiently for me to return home so that we can spend time together playing the many games a 1 year old or a 3 year old might choose.<\/p>\n

As for my enrolment in this particular course, I am interested in emerging technologies as I am constantly looking at how:<\/p>\n

a) I can integrate various technologies in my own classrooms<\/p>\n

b) Our school can integrate various technologies that will benefit administration, teachers, infrastructure, or students<\/p>\n

c) Our school board can integrate technologies that will be used at their own level or any other level below<\/p>\n

As I’m often implicated in technology decisions at all levels and I am hoping this course will better prepare me so that I can provide even greater contributions throughout the decision making process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
