Tracy Rosen - learning. lifelong.

My thoughts on learning

I love the learning process. Whether it be kindergarten through adult education and beyond, I feel the most alive when working with others towards shared goals. I value curiosity, innovation, and care.

I believe in a people-centered learning process that focuses on innovation through relationship. Learner goals are always at the front line.

My thoughts on tech integration

ICT is not the Goal, created for DevPro PD Flipped, a project of the Provincial RECIT for Adult Education in Quebec.

About the site

This site was designed by me, using the Bootstrap framework.

I played with the carousel feature to get the look of the site and I will probably play with it some more at any given moment.

Thanks to the people on these sites, amongst others, I am sure, for teaching me how to make the modifications I wanted:

To move the carousel arrows out to the sides, I used this jsfiddle.
How to Extend Twitter Bootstrap’s Carousel Functionality by Michael Milstead
Twitter Bootstrap - Carousel Only CSS by Chris Owens.

If anyone has tips on the following two items - I'd appreciate them!

Smoothing the transition to the slide with the embedded video. It's a bit jerky.
Centering the Carousel in the container. For now, I am using a 'center' tag directly in the hmtl. As a result, the text here is also centered. There must be a way to center the carousel without centering the text!
