I just finished applying for the National Geographic Educator program. I was recently named a National Geographic Educator of the Week and am very proud and excited to be connected with such an amazing group of people. In December I was thrilled to be asked to work in cooperation with National Geographic Education, Google and 20 amazing educators from across North America on a very exciting project (more to come…)!
For those of you who know me, know that I love to travel, adventure and explore. I believe some of the greatest lessons I’ve learned in my life have come through adventure. Isn’t learning just that…. AN ADVENTURE? My Capstone project combines my passion for breaking down classroom walls, teaching outside of the text and empowering students to recognize their tremendous potential to make a difference. I am sharing my lesson (project) plan and my video…. “IMAGINE”. If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Congratulations. Peter. That’s awesome. I enjoyed your video. I’m sure your students enjoy their explorations and adventures. We certainly don’t need to have students chained to desks and books any longer. In fact, we never did.

Thanks for your comment Norah! Your last point is so true! We need to start rethinking traditional teaching practices. Opportunities for learning are all around us. We must instil this is our children, learning should not start and finish at school doors!
