Doug+Peterson

I am the Computer Consultant for the Greater Essex County District School Board. We have 62 elementary and 16 secondary schools in the city of Windsor, Ontario and the County of Essex and Pelee Island. Before this job, I was head of Business Education and taught Business Studies and Computer Science at Sandwich Secondary School in LaSalle, Ontario.

I have a great family and we're all connected to each other and the world.


 * My Digital Footprint**

As I wander around the internet, I do bookmark things for later reference or in my monthly newsletter. I keep them here. You’ll find the latest in the sidebar on the blog and also, when it’s working, as a daily blog post automatically by the Delicious API. [] I have moved some of the workshops that I do to this Wiki. I encourage you to join the Wiki and edit the pages with your own ideas about how to make the workshop or PD resources better. [] This is the website that I maintain with the Greater Essex County District School Board. Here, you’ll find resources that I have developed for a number of different things. Since the audience is K-12 for over 80 locations, there are lots of things there and it continually grows. [] I’m a real fan of the Webquest as a structured way for students and teachers to use the Internet in the classroom. As I find Webquests, they are categorized by subject area or age group and put in this searchable database. [] Once a month, I create and post this 10-12 page newsletter to provide some inspiration for the use of computers and technology in the classroom. [] This service is taking the internet by storm. It’s a communication tool that you update 140 characters at a time. Don’t sell it short and develop a network of followers or people to follow. [| http://twitter.com/dougpete/] I believe that you need to carve out your own identify on the internet. This site is mine and I share it with my kids who may share my passion some day. [] I have created a number of resources that are freely available from the OSAPAC Learning Object Repository. Check out these free classroom downloads to support Ontario Ministry of Education licensed software.
