Here it is...my first official venture into the world of blogging. Welcome to all those who have taken the time to read this post! I hope you will find this a place to come back to for tips and tricks on integrating technology into the classroom. I'm an Education Consultant with Sharp's AV in Calgary, AB. and my primary role is to help assist teachers, administrators and school divisions with getting the most out of the technology that they've purchased for use in education [unabashed self-plug: check us out at www.sharpsav.com]
I'm a huge fan of SMART Boards and am constantly learning, demonstrating and facilitating the link between interactivity and pedagogy (a word that garners a look of bewilderment from all of my non-education colleagues!) All constructive comments and open dialogue on best-teaching practices is thus encouraged on this site. Learning from one another in the education community is the best way to grow!
Once again, welcome and happy reading!

About Me
- Vanessa Cassie
- Calgary, AB, Canada
- I am an Education Consultant for Sharp's AV based out of Calgary, AB. I provide professional development workshops to our Education clients and consult school divisions on their plan for implementation of technology in the classroom. Specifically, I focus on increasing interactivity in the classroom through web resources, social networking and SMART products. In my former life I was a teacher -- first as a Grade 5 generalist and then as a High School Social Studies specialist. I love current events, politics, sports and, of course, all things "techie".
Welcome Vanessa! We're using a number of different tools in FSD now. We just set up a WordPress site as well as an Edublog site (all internal for now). I look forward to your posts... from one of your followers that knows what pedagogy is :) James
ReplyDeleteThanks James! Looking forward to seeing a sneak peak of how your Edublog site is going (after it officially goes public!)
