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.

My Recent Projects

  • Practical PD - a blog to accompany my activities as consultant with the RECIT provincial service for General Adult Education in Quebec. Tagline: Moving Professional Development out of the Conference Room.
  • Show Me What You Know - a website and learning materials I created to accompany a workshop on planning for competency development in Adult Education. This workshop was prepared for the English Montreal School Board Diversifying Education 2014 Conference.
  • Practical PD in Adult Ed. - prototype for an online course for teacher professional development about technology integration and curriculum renewal.
  • Keeping it Real - the companion website for a workshop on using tablets in education.
  • GTNTix - Web design for a new concert ticket network in Montreal. I worked on the front end design while the fabulous Robert Brockie was the developing genius behind the scenes :)
  • French Help, Whenever! - A growing collection of video capsules created by educators across Quebec. I am the principle consultant for the project.

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!
