Rod House's Colleagues

Rod House's Page

About Me: I support computer labs in a community college. I'm interested in practical uses for technology in education. We seem to have a huge array of resources that we seldom use.
Our computer labs and networks seem like kitchens and from my perspective we're just reheating convenience food. I'm interested in media literacy. I see the inability to utilize audio and visual media as a huge barrier to teachers. I'd like to help change that.

I give workshops to pre-and in-service educators on incoporating technology into their work. If you're interested in hands on session, I'd love to be able to collaborate and lead something for the groups you work with. If you're interested please respond to mshellman@telus.net.

I'm trying to build a network of Canadian educators and bloggers. No discussions yet. I'm just starting out by trying to find where everyone lives and what they teach. If you're interested, please add me as a colleague as well.

If you add yourself to the map, please include a name or a photo of some sort. There seem to be a lot of unidentified people from unidentified places and the map is getting stuck on for some reason. The problem is that I can't tell from the members’ list which anonymous hits are real people and which were just false starts. The company does not differentiate members unless there is a picture or a name. Location only is not enough to help me know which entries are not real ones. THANKS!!!!

My teaching partner and I did a hands on session at U.Calgary that was attended by your counterpart in the lab there. He found what we had to say helpful. You might want to take a look at our Squidoo page and a discussion I have been having about fostering change with some Australian IT people suffering from what I think of as 'reluctant colleague' syndrome. (Be warned -- I can be rather long winded when I write online!)I will spend more time looking at your wiki when I have gotten this group off to a good start.

If you'd like to collaborate on some sort of workshop my teaching partner and I would be interested.
