In some ways it was a baptism by fire, but as I had spent the previous 5 years working at a custody facility for young offenders, there were many transferable skills. As a way to learn how to teach there was a... The post My First Lesson In Teaching appeared first on Looking Up ..read more

It’s become a generally accepted fact that the internet and social media has made us ruder, meaner and generally less polite to each other. A good example of this is the way so many news sites have had to shut down allowing readers to leave comments on their stories because of the nasty comments. The...

The the federal election is imminent and so this week my class will be hosting Student Vote in our school.

I heard someone say this week that you teach the way that you were taught. I don’t think that’s true, but there’s no denying that the teachers I’ve had along the way have influenced both my desire to teach and what I value in teaching. So on this Thanksgiving Weekend I want to take a... The post Thank You To My Teachers appeared first on Looking Up ..read more

On October 3rd, 2019 The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) announced “Right to Read, a public inquiry into human rights issues that affect students with reading disabilities in Ontario’s public education system”.

I’ve written before about the importance of educators using ethical EdTech partners and some of the questionable choices some EdTech partners have made.

Digital technology has transformed many part of society and changed how we do many basic tasks. Educators saw that EdTech had the potential to change teaching learning for the better.
