Over the past few weeks, I have been taking some time to dig more deeply into collaborative inquiry. I began reading Jenni Donohoo’s book Collaborative Inquiry for Educators: A Facilitator’s Guide to School Improvement, which is a valuable resource for anyone involved in education. It contains not only clear, research-based information about CI, but also […]
A few weeks back, I was asked to work with some educators who were at the senior management level in their board. They told me that they wanted everyone in the organization to model the kind of learning they wanted to see at the classroom level. We were specifically working on ways to make thinking and […]
Mark Carbone and I recently took advantage of the opportunity to share our passion for connecting education leaders at the TEDxKitchenerED event. If you are wondering about #OSSEMOOC, here is the story of how we are working to connect leaders, and helping Ontario learners, to thrive in the complexities of teaching and learning in today’s rapidly […]

Not all the numbers are in yet, but it looks like it could be a majority Liberal government in Ontario.

While negotiating the lunch hour traffic yesterday, I caught a piece of a conversation on the radio and thought, “That person has read Danah Boyd’s book”. As the conversation went on, I realized the speaker was Danah Boyd, and that she was a guest on the Ontario Today call-in program on CBC Radio. The program […]
Dean Shareski posed this question at #canedu14 on Friday. Darren Kuropatwa demonstrated how we could “harvest” (@jennzia) that learning in a shared video (below). #canedu14 In @shareski‘s session on connections, networks and community. We made this together: I ConnectED http://t.co/JdYNtAYDTq — Darren Kuropatwa (@dkuropatwa) May 9, 2014 At #edCampIsland the next day, I […]
