Down the road....

Leaving the office and our computer workstations is difficult to do at the outset of the school year with new students just getting settled and oriented. There are situations that call for desperate measures and that's exactly what Debbie and Ted did. They traveled to Prince Albert to speak with the principals from the Northern Lights School Division about the online services available through edcentre.ca.

As it turns out this was a good thing to do. The principals got to see what distance learning looks like and were able to talk with online teachers and one of the online students in a live web conference. One of the other benefits for both Deb and Ted is that it was a beautiful day for a drive. Using the web conference tool with an LCD projector and audio system with a wireless mic allows everyone in an access point to interact. We expect to be doing more of this throughout the year. Stay tuned.......there will be opportunities to join in through this blog area. We'll post access links to public sessions.

Ghost Burning Party

I am going to a Ghost Burning Party tonight. You write down your fears, worries, resolutions, etc. THEN burn them...they magically disapper...I guess that is what is supposed to happen. Click on the link to see what I'm burning....

What is this thing called JING

The concept of Jing is the always-ready program that instantly captures and shares images and video…from your computer to anywhere.

Try it, you’ll like it. It's free.

Google Docs

We are encouraging everyone at edcentre.ca to explore what is available through google docs.
Check out the video to see an introduction to what google docs has to offer. We feel that this tool will be very valuable for online learners.

I need a blueberry INTERVENTION!

Hi Everyone,
I seriously need some help and advice. The other day I was in a blueberry nightmare as there was a sea of huge blueberries and I had no more room in my pail and it was getting dark and I couldn't leave. I am obsessed with picking blueberries as the frost is coming and once they freeze you can't pick them! By the way does anybody know where there is a good patch of cranberries? You can pick those even if they freeze. Some people pick them in the Spring as they stay frozen on the plant all winter....

School is open

This has been a very busy week talking to new students, getting them enrolled and set up for online classes. We are still dealing with the aftermath of moving. There are still unpacked boxes but we have most of the bugs worked out and are on the ground running. We are all looking forward to this school year and to our eventual permanent home. We know this means one more move, but these are all incremental steps in a positive direction.

edcentre.ca has moved!

We are now located in the Northlands College administration building in Air Ronge just south of the Montreal River.












We may have moved physically, but our contact information is the same.
