Jack Layton was a remarkable Canadian in many ways.
A few key words from his Letter to Canadians stood out for me.
“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.”
Food for thought: How are these words reflected in the way you live your life? What will you do to keep the spirit alive?

A few days ago my wife received an email from a friend indicating that she was going through some challenging times. In the message she asked for my wife’s perspective on four questions (below).
Earlier this week, I had a wonderful opportunity to participate in a PLP Boot Camp panel discussion. I enjoyed hearing the thoughts and key messages of the panel members concerning 21C leadership. I captured a key phrase or two from each panel member and share them here for your reflection and what these might mean for you.
As the calendar roles into August, my thoughts turn to CATC Camp, our Board’s annual summer 3 day, self directed, computer PD session for staff. This year I will be taking some time to explore music applications with the iPad. Some of the things on my explore list are:
MIDI Interface for iPad/iPhone/iPod
What am I looking for? — apps and ideas suitable for classroom use, applications that are easily used in the student performance context and applications that can interact with OSAPAC licensed software (for Ontario publicly funded schools)
As always, I am looking forward to this learning opportunity.
