ReCivilization

I often have a whole bunch of free floating facts in my brain and most of it comes from listening to CBC Radio.  I have been listening since I was a zygote and if I had my way, I would listen to CBC for at least 8 hours a day.  As a result, I find many things that would be a fit in the FFP classroom through the radio. 

Here is the latest: a 5 episode series called ReCivilization hosted by Don Tapscott.  It explores the impact and possibility of collaborative technology in several different areas.  I think it ties right into Civics.  Maybe too heady for some but I find it fascinating.  In episode 5, there is an interview with Mitchell Baker, the Chairperson of the Mozilla Foundation. Her interview inspires me to use more open source software.

    About This Blog


    This blog began when I asked my Grade 10 students to blog for an English class in 2011.  I chose to focus on an exploration of Wordworth's poem "Lines above Tintern Abbey". 

     Why? I wrote a very bad essay about this poem in first year university and in my own way, I am trying to make amends with that failed attempt.

    Its evolving into a reflection on my adventures in education, motherhood, life and most recently as a student in  UBC's Optional- Residency MFA Creative Writing program and WRDSB's 1:1 Chromebook Pilot Project.

    Currently, I am teaching with the Waterloo Region District School Board in Ontario, Canada. Opinions are my own.
