My ability to apply scholarly and academic competencies are evidenced in my teaching as a member of the Faculty of Education (FoE) at Lakehead, Orillia. While I am not a teacher educator by career choice. as I came to this work serendipitously in the latter part of my career, I bring my experiences as a primary school teacher and leader to both my FoE instruction and my PhD work. Teaching teacher candidates has transformed my teaching practice but not my underlying epistemology or ontology. 

Every course I teach in the FoE has aligned to my commitment to media and digital literacy development in teacher education as an open educator, practicing with open educational resources and networks. Each course is created on an openly accessible web site to create a web presence for the learning in the course. These course web sites are an archival resource that tracks iterations in course design and delivery over the past eight years, evidencing my reflective and analytic "self and ..." (Ovens, Strom, & Garbett, 2016). 

Along with these open course web sites, artefacts and assemblages that demonstrate my analytic and reflective work in teaching and learning include:

• MET capstone project, My Renovations, Appendix B - Comparison Chart of Standards, Competencies and Artifacts (as hyperlinked).
  • This chart examines how skills and competencies acquired in the MET program are compared to teaching competencies in three professional organizations - the Ontario College of Teachers, the British Columbia standards for teachers, and the standards from the International Society of Technology in Education (ISTE). 
• Concept maps created in the MET program - retrieved from https://myrenovations.weebly.com/many-maps.html
  • These concept map creations exemplify my analysis of course content (ETEC 540 Making Connections), readings (Paradox and Tension in Orality; What is Hypertext), and theoretical frameworks (Constructivism map). Concept mapping continues to be modelling how concept maps have become part of my teaching and learning process. 
• Teaching and Learning in the Digital Terrain - Interactive graphic created in Thinglink
  • This interactive media production was completed as part of the submission for the Media Smarts publication Mapping Digital Literacy Policy and Practice in Canadian Landscapes that I co-authored with Dr. M. Hoechsmann in 2015. It exemplifies the spaces and places, the skills and fluencies, the creative artefact making that I integrate and infuse into my teaching and learning.
