Jim Bussard
Designer, Teacher, and Web Developer in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada
I am a life long learner with a passion for understanding and facilitating learning. I have been an education professional for 18 years and have a background in instructional design and technology, middle school education, sports development, material fabrication, educational technology and e-learning. I have a genuine curiosity in utilizing the effectiveness of technology inside and outside of the class room. Currently I am attending Boise State University in the Masters in Educational Technology program.
As much as we find continuous change in the teaching profession, I can think of one aspect that has remained constant – technology. Technology has always lent it’s hand in various ways in all facets of my profession. With every student I taught, player I coached, or child I counselled, I relied on technology in some form to communicate, share and improved the learning.
I hope the information that I share from this site will be of use to others. I have included my insights into education as well as resources that I continue to develop for others to use.
