=Welcome to the ECS Wiki space.=

I'm working on creating this space for discussing the various topics of education. I've been very busy this year at school with our school division almalgamation. I believe is that in moderation, technology can enhance the learning that takes place for eveyone, teachers and stuents. It cannot, however, replace the interaction of people face-to-face which will become extremely important in the future since we are seeing many people who are beginning to lack these essential skills. So, come join the discussions or read or listen to some of the things that will appear here.

As we begin to discuss the various ideas and options that are available to us as educators, we need to be aware that thee is a cultural change going on in regards to what students can do. We need to reexamine what we are doing in schools and what students are doing. Please see check out my Web2.0 page for examples of software and discussions about learning and understanding.
