The Professional Blog for Carlo Fusco
Over the Christmas Holidays, I had a chance to travel to London, Ontario to enjoy a Brunch hosted by David Carruthers (@pluggedportable) who is a Technology Coordinator with the TVDSB.
During that time we shared some excellent food and conversation. This is the first in a series of interviews with some of the inspirational educators in which I had an opportunity to speak with. In this interview David discusses the power of Social Media.
At the end of the first day of CATC by the Water I caught up with Donna Miller Fry (@fryed).
We spoke about technology and education. As well as how the world is changing and that as educators, we need to be looking at ways to prepare students for a future where Info Tech is going to be very important.
CATC by the Water is a WRDSB Professional Development retreat for teachers to work with other teachers to develop and refine good pedagogical practice.
My second interview at CATC by the Water was with Jamie Reaburn Weir (@msjweir) who is the Head of English at a High School in Cambridge Ontario. Jamie explained to me her passion about collaborative learning.
CATC by the Water is a WRDSB Professional Development retreat for teachers to work with other teachers to develop and refine good pedagogical practice. My first interview at CATC by the Water is Herman Kwan (@educatorkwan) who is trained as an Engineer and teaches both Math and Physics. I was really impressed with Herman’s joy for learning and his love of popular culture.
On July 13, I participated at our local Twitter Chat #PubPD. There were 14 of us discussing the value of coding in schools both “IRL” and on Twitter. One of the people I had the opportunity to speak with was Alanna King. I asked her 3 questions and she shared with me her passion on participatory culture and critical thinking.
