As Regional e-Learning Contact, I've taken the lead
on developing a range of regional and board specific
professional development projects. Whether co-producing
online professional development like "Your
Virtual Toolbox" or leading a team to
develop regional events like the London
Region e-Learning Symposium, I've succeeded in coordinating
resources and events that meet the needs of a diverse
audience of teacher-learners. |

As chairperson for MediaFest in the LDCSB, I've
had opportunities to see children's creative efforts
celebrated at spring Showcases held in 2006 and 2007.
By gathering a team of talented and motivated educators,
we are able to publicly acknowledge the creative work
of digital natives from all grades.
Annual DVD composites are made available to each
of our schools. |

Coordinating a "Embracing
the Earth - Caring for Creation" conference
event with Marc Keilburger raised the profile of our
launch of Eco-Teams in all LDCSB schools. |

World Record: Most Snow Angels
Although global warming may prevent such a record
from being broken... The Snow Angels project was memorable
for many reasons.
With one week to plan the details, I employed a countdown
timer synchronized on a short term Snow Angel's Website,
counting down to 2 p.m. on February, 2, 2004.
In the end, over 15,851 participants
took two minutes lying down to make snow angels, and
we had successfully set a World
Record in support of colleagues and friends suffering
from illness.

Acting as chair of the Western Ontario
Region Committee for Gifted, leadership was
realized with a team of committed educators who hosted
multiple LOGIC conference experiences for elementary
and secondary students. At it's peak, over 500 students
in grades 4-12, representing at least 10 southwestern
Ontario school boards converged and engaged in a variety
of meaningful learning experiences.

Nexus 2004
What happens when you combine an engaging keynote
speaker, with technology tools, and a few hundred
secondary school students from the West Region? You
get a one-of-a-kind 'real world-virtual world' experience!
Using design tools, an online conference tool, and
engaging flash elements, our interface allowed conversations
to linger long after the event. Our work led to follow-up
conferences in 2005, and 2006! |
