What I am Doing Now

What I am Doing Now

I am currently home with my family in North Vancouver which is the home of some of the best Mountain Biking in the world, it is early spring.

My Primary Professional Focus:

I create significant learning environments (CSLE) by giving learners choice ownership and voice through authentic learning opportunities (COVA).

CSLE+COVA Discussions Youtube & Podcasts:

Dr. Thibodeax talk almost daily about ways to enhance the learning environment. Since most of our discussion happen over a Zoom connection (we live thousands of miles apart) we have decided to hit the record button and let you all in on our musings, speculating, and dreaming up new ways to enhance the learning environment by giving learners choice, ownership and voice through authentic learning opportunities.
You can access these videos from the CSLE2COVA Youtube channel and our podcast versions of these discussions from CSLE+COVA SoundCloud.

Collaborative Writing Opportunities:

Are you getting tired of all the hype related to educational reform, educational technology, or the next big thing that will revolutionize education? If so, then I would encourage you to join Dr. Thibodeax and I in looking at ways to cut through the hype of so many of these educational promises. Take a few minutes to review the post How to cut through the hype of educational promises, review the list of topics near the end of the post, and let us know what you would like to write about and we will explore the best place to publish these insights.
