A little background
I spent over 40 years in Quebec education — as a teacher, computer consultant at Lester B. Pearson and Baldwin-Cartier school boards, and eventually as a school principal. My proudest achievement is founding Clearpoint Elementary in 2006, now an IB International School open to all students with no entrance requirements.
Since retiring from the LBPSB in 2012, I've been lecturing at McGill University's Faculty of Education, teaching courses in educational technology, instructional design, research methods, and educational leadership. This fall I'm back teaching EDPT 200 — a course I've now been teaching at McGill for nearly 25 years.
My current focus is the integration of generative AI in classrooms from kindergarten through university, bringing together decades of hands-on experience with what's emerging right now.
Atrani, Amalfi Coast — 2017. On a holiday in Italy I discovered my new favourite place on the planet. It's a 10-minute walk through a mountain from Amalfi, and this was the view from our hotel room. Spectacular and calming — everything a good place should be.
