Here you will find postings I have made about different professional and schedule development activities I have been involved in over my recent time as a college math instructor at Camosun College<\/a>. You will also find posts at my Google Plus account. See below for a link to that.<\/p>\n

I have been an instructor at Camosun College since 1987. In that time I have been an active participant in and evaluator of the use of educational technology to help faculty, staff and students gain digital literacy skills.<\/p>\n

In 1995 as an outcome of my master’s degree, I began Learning Webs, a project to develop and deliver online instructional materials for adult upgrading students. These are currently being delivered both online and in a blended mode in partnership with local community learning centres.<\/p>\n

My passion is helping create a ” . . . world made transparent by true communications webs (Illich, Ivan. Deschooling Society<\/a>, 1971, p. 157).”<\/p>\n

In my spare time, I like to read fiction and biographies as well as restore vehicles. I recently built a shop to facilitate that passion. You can read about the summer 2011 project at http:\/\/www.carbucks.ca\/?p=11<\/a>. Next up is an 83 Honda Magna V65<\/a>. At the time it was claimed to be the world’s fastest production motorcycle. While I still have a need for speed, that bike is now up for sale, as I<\/del>\u00a0has been sold so I can focus on more practical machines. In that vein, I also have two Triumph TR8s<\/a>, an ’80 that needs a new water pump and paint job and an ’82 that is in ‘collector plate’ condition.<\/p>\n
