"Getting to grate" a valueable oppurtunty at Park West School

May 8, 2015

We just received this email from our children's school, in Halifax:

Just a reminder that Friday, May 8th is the last day to complete the Getting to great Surveys. Voluntary participation in this survey provides valueable information to help us identify strengths and challenges at our school, so we can do our part to enhance the oppurtunties for our students to learn.

I always grumbled that they were more interested in spelling than creativity at this school... but that is some pretty creative spelling!

I'm a journalist, producer, instructional designer and developer. I've reported from a minefield and a dugout canoe, taught radio journalism, robotics, and anthropology in board rooms, lecture halls and mud huts, led award-winning media projects, and mentored dozens of journalists in Canada and Latin America. I run a small media production company specialized in education and the environment called Studio Canek.

Digital storytelling

(Conrad's) vision, his journalistic nose, and his tireless search to go one more step for the new, helped us find really impactful stories...
