There is a vast amount of information online, and digging into it can sometimes feel too overwhelming to even begin. Yet our students will need to be quite adept at this process as they navigate the new realities of a digitally-connected world. What best practices do we need to model as leaders to ensure our […]
Connecting f2f.
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 […]
I really loved @dkuropatwa‘s presentation at #canedu14. Share your story so others have the opportunity to learn.

I see this quote quite frequently in my work, and I worry about it a bit. I worry because in the same way that “good” standardized test scores […]
I don’t know anyone who would answer “yes” to this question. So why is the myth that “kids hate school” so pervasive? Last week, buses were cancelled in Muskoka (yes, there is only one Muskoka!), and the television announcers made a huge deal out of how happy kids would be because they didn’t have to […]
Blogging is important. Because I strongly believe this, I often wonder what it takes to get people writing and sharing their thinking. It’s easy to put “blogging” at the end of the “to do” list. Dean Shareski made me think about this a lot recently when he showed up in Thunder Bay and asked us […]
