This Blog is part of a project I have developed through a course taken in my Masters of Educational Technology programme at Concordia University in Montreal. Its purpose is three fold, first to reflect on articles that I have read pertaining to technology and Education, secondly to reflect my personal experiences with technology as a both a user as an educator and thirdly “how to” impliment, set up and apply technologies such as this blog, applications or hardware configurations. My background includes experiences in:

•Information technology: computer systems development, instructional design & innovative pedagogies; knowledge in networking, Flash programming, web and graphic design, and multimedia production.

•Music: Professional musician, experience includes Montreal choir ‘Mruta Merti’, jazz and rock & roll ensembles (too many to mention), sound and video engineering/production. Also involved in stage & multi-media production.

• Education: 12 years as an educator (1994-present). 10 years as an elementary music teacher both classroom music and introductory band. Background in teaching English (as first and second language), music education, elementary curriculum, and adult basic education. Experience in all core educational subject areas, art education and computer education.

• Technology and education specialist: Currently completing a Masters of Educational Technology at Concordia University. Special interests include curriculum and instructional design coupled with creative applications of technology in education (multi-media, design, performance etc…).
