My profile
I have been teaching Adult Literacy, off and on, for twenty-two years. I began teaching as a volunteer at a storefront centre in Ottawa, CA. There I was involved in testing and integrating software/hardware in the program. It is with keeness and caution that I approach the technology in the educational sphere. This largely due to the over-hype of early technology intiatives.
Educational Background
BA -- University of Western Ontario Diploma in Sec. Education -- McGill University TESL -- Concordia university MA Education -- McGill (in progress)
My interests
Professional
Cognitive stages of literacy acquisition Technologically "blocked" adult learners
Personal
Cooking with wine
My wiki projects
- I registered for eL4C41, a Learning4Content workshop to learn wiki skills.
--=== My optional community service (learning contract) project ===
 Agreement |
By signing this optional learning contract I will try to complete my training in basic wiki editing skills to achieve the status of a Wikibuddy. In return for this free training opportunity, I will give the gift of knowledge by donating or developing at least one free content resource licensed under a CC-BY-SA or CC-BY license which can be used by myself (and others) on WikiEducator. |
| Brief description of project |
I would like to share some of my research findings regarding the compatibility of a social constructivist approach to teaching Adult Literacy and current research on how adults learn best. |
| Target date for completion |
I would like to have this preliminary reading and analysis done for Decmenber 2010. |
