Initially I thought technology was all about tools- things to digs holes with- write things with- it was all about things. I believe that technology is all about creating. We use technology to create and display our ideas. Man develops technology to help solve problems sometimes, but not always. Sometimes technology is developed for the sheer purpose of creating something- afterall who really needs an electric back scratcher!! Technology is tools for digging holes, but it is also text for displaying thoughts and feelings, it is music, and it is art. Martin Heidegger ( 1977) suggests that technology is the revealing as art is revealing- I think he is posing the question -” Is art and technology one and the same?” and I think the answer to this is yes.

I was born in Saskatchewan but moved to Alberta at a young age. I graduated from UBC with a B.Ed. I have been teaching or working in the literacy field for a long time. I began my teaching career in Nigeria and am now employed by Palliser Regional School in Alberta where I teach Math in a small rural jr-sr high school. I am currently on leave this year so I can complete my degree.
My husband and I have three children, the last of which has just flown the nest. This will be a year of major changes!! We have a passion for travelling. We have lived in Africa for several years, and have also wandered around the world for a year. We also love to ski, hike, read and spend time with family and friends.
