    Another favourite from Friday night. This one was taken from Ainslie Wood looking across Georgian Bay towards Cobble Beach. The object in the water is the intake for the old Leith water system. I think there’s a bird sitting on it.

    2024-05-13 14:45:07 UTC

  4. Media Monday - Truth and Falsity in Images

    2024-05-06 17:18:16 UTC
    Something I learned while teaching my Media Literacy course is that our minds have a much more difficult time dealing with images than the written word as there is no truth or falsity in an image. Which is why much of our modern advertising (and now memes) are image-based rather…

    2024-04-30 15:49:30 UTC
    Today I talk about when I feel down I should have mentioned a few other things in the video…but maybe the most important one is that I avoid things or put things off when I feel down. Which is why I felt it was important that I post this video…

  9. Media Monday - Ontario’s Cell Phone and Vape Ban

    2024-04-29 16:03:53 UTC
    Vaping and Smartphone ban As a newly retired teacher, I can already predict there will be some who say I am out of touch, but as I experienced the slow creep of cellphones and vaping into my classroom/school and because I touched on both in what I taught in my…
