This site has been up since early in 2011, when I decided I needed a site to post “stuff” that might be of interest (or not) as I explored online learning and creative endeavours.

I’m a long-standing advocate for the use of technology in education, a passionate believer in the importance of learning and self-direction, a practicing photographer, and a dad. I retired from the classroom at the end of the school year in 2019, and now enjoy a combination of education consulting and volunteer as a director on the board of the Educational Computing Organization of Ontario.

I maintain a professional blog at edVisioned.ca, and a Minecraft-focussed blog at GumbyBlockhead.com.
