About Me: I have taught at the elementary, secondary and university levels and have experience as an assistant-head of an independent school, principal of a large public high school, staff developer, and consultant. As an educational consultant, I organize, plan, and facilitate interactive workshops and training sessions for schools and districts throughout Canada and the United States. I assist teams in conceptualizing and implementing a variety of educational practices, including curriculum mapping, curriculum design, essential questions, assessment, and evaluation.

I am on the Board of Directors for Ontario ASCD and act as editor-in-chief of the OASCD journal Canadian Perspectives. I also serve on the Board of the CIS e-Learning Consortium and act as chair of its Program Committee.

I'm happy to share with you what I know and can help you look like an expert in no time at all. Do you have a Skype account? If not, consider getting a free download at www.Skype.com.

Also, we all probably have multiple e-mail accounts, which can make keeping up with e-mail an inconvenient and time-consuming chore. I can show you how to consolidate all of your e-mail accounts into one email location so that you only have one place to go to get work and personal email in one account.

In this respect, I recommend opening a Gmail account. It's free and the benefits are huge, including the ability to tie your email to calendars, photos, videos, documents, presentations, etc. It's easy to get everything connected and become highly efficient in your communications. (You can even port your email, documents, text messaging, etc. to your cell phone.)

I know. Technology... Is it more blessing or curse?

Cheers,

Steve
