Had fun playing with piktochart today (https://piktochart.com/). Seemed user friendly enough. Wondering what will be the lowest grade level I could use this with. Here is my final product https://magic.piktochart.com/output/23504981-digital-canadians-in-5. CanadiansInternet.com was a great source of info to create the graphs http://canadiansinternet.com/canadian-digital-social-mobile-statistics-global-scale-2014. I used Google's search engine to find an image that was labeled for reuse and came across one from Thomas Galvez (2012) "Think before you" http://canadiansinternet.com/canadian-digital-social-mobile-statistics-global-scale-2014/.

I absolutely love his emphasis on teaching students how to detect crap online and I love how he asserts that this will have a positive effect on both the individual student or learner as well as on the internet commons. He provides insight on how the development of the internet has shifted the responsibility of detecting crap from the producers (publishers) to the consumers (readers). Prior to the internet, publishers were paid well to ensure that the information they were releasing to the world was accurate. With the advent of the internet, anyone can publish any crap at any time. These ideas were not completely new to me as a...

Professional Development in Connected Leadership Continues

The first time I was pushed to blog was when I was taking my AQ in Technology Integration in Instruction back in 2017. I have not done a very good job of keeping up with it. My original vision for my blog was that it would act as a digital portfolio of the things I was doing and thinking about in education, specifically related to digital technologies in education.  In 2018 I was busy completing my Religion Parts 2 and 3 in order to qualify for the Principal Qualification Part 1 (PQP1) course. I was pleasantly surprised on the first day of the course to find out that there was a Connected Leadership Module component for both Part 1 and Part 2.
