Education Space Station: October 2010
http://educationspacestation.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 27, 2010. My two-week observation in Comox. We just finished our two-week school observation and I was placed at V.P. Vanier in Comox, B.C. I had a wonderful time there and the teachers were super helpful in giving me tips and advises. Here are some thoughts:. Indigenous education - Vanier has a very cool Indigenous education program called the Ravens Program. Ravens is a combination of First Nations 12, English 11, and Planning 10. The teacher of the program is very charismati...Simpl...

Education Space Station: November 2010
http://educationspacestation.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Responsible marketing - does it exist? In 2004, Dove launched the Campaign for Real Beauty. In 2006 Dove launched the Evolution. Ad, which spurred hundreds of copy-cat time-lapse videos of Photoshop beauty routines on Youtube. And then followed up in 2007 with Onslaught. Both of these ads contain powerful and positive messages on body image. A little more digging revealed that Dove's parent company, Unilever, also owns Axe, a product line notorious for its objectification of...

Education Space Station: Photo editing using on-line softwares
http://educationspacestation.blogspot.com/2010/09/photo-editing-using-on-line-softwares.html
Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Photo editing using on-line softwares. This week's assignment is about design and photo editing. I usually use Photoshop for my editing or Picasa if I just want to do some quick adjustments. But for this assignment I get to review some on-line editing tools. We are to find two Creative Commons licenced photos on the internet and use on-line editing tools to make some simple changes. I chose Picnik. The first image I am using is Don't ya think pigs can fly. Post of the Month...

Education Space Station: A Discussion on Educational Games
http://educationspacestation.blogspot.com/2010/09/discussion-on-educational-games.html
Sunday, September 19, 2010. A Discussion on Educational Games. This weekend I participated in OrcaJam. A game development jam session where local independent developers gather and have 48 hours to work on whatever project they want to work on. During a dinner discussion, I raised the topic of educational games and there was a consensus that most of them aren't fun. In the mean time, I'll go and play SimCity. Very fun games that are not educational in nature but have great inherent educational values.

Wednesday, September 22, 2010. CBC News - Consumer Life - The future of education: reboot required. CBC News - Consumer Life - The future of education: reboot required. So far in my studies it has been emphasized repeatedly that teaching is about engaging students, encourage critical thinking, etc, etc, etc. I'm sure this has been taught in pedagogy courses for many years yet we still have teachers who lapse into lecture style of non-interactive teaching. Why is that? How does technology fit into this?

Education Space Station: December 2010
http://educationspacestation.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 11, 2010. WikiLeaks in the Classroom. My colleague and friend Andrew wrote a blog post. About how the information in WikiLeaks should be handled in the classroom. Given the strong reaction of the US government, Andrew wondered if a teacher should even bring WikiLeaks documents into the class for students to analyze. Does it undermine diplomatic confidentiality and is it a good thing? Is the intimidation by the government and corporations justified? What do you think? Simple template...

Wednesday, December 8, 2010. December 8, 2010 at 11:50 PM. Your podcast is great - I am so impressed! December 11, 2010 at 3:36 PM. It occurred to me after I made the post that I should have interviewed Brittany for my podcast.
