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.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0I retired from the classroom at the end of the school year in 2019, and now enjoy a combination of education consulting<\/strong>\u00a0and volunteer as a director<\/strong> on the board of the Educational Computing Organization of Ontario<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I maintain a professional blog at\u00a0edVisioned.ca<\/a>, and a Minecraft-focussed blog at GumbyBlockhead.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
