I was new to Drupal Behaviors (Drupal 7) and spent the last couple of days trying to sort out an issue. ISSUE : click events, were not ‘seeing’ new DOM elements changed through AJAX. NON-DRUPAL WORLD: I would use live() delegate() or on() (depending on jQuery version) with document.load() After much wrestling , I was …

Most of my ‘stolen-time’ (I don’t think I actually have any identifiable ‘free time’) recently has been following & participating in the swell of Education Technology, Web Literacy and everything in between. It seems as though conversation about open education, digital literacy and the state of traditional education has suddenly erupted. Or maybe I just …
[ Continue Reading... ]Yesterday was another great day of learning – meeting interesting, smart people and taking notes on those things my brain could not retain. Keynote – Mitchell Baker – I felt very privileged to listen to this keynote, for many reasons : a leader in technology, from Mozilla, who also happens to be a woman. …

It’s taken me a while to fully understand(oh wait I don’t) the scope & intention of Mozilla’s Open Badges. Seems you can be recognized for skills, and achievements accomplished outside the classroom. I’m both optimistic (yay! being recognized without paying for a certification or degree – about time!) and confused how it can be of …
[ Continue Reading... ]Someone asked me this week if I wanted my daughter to become a software developer/programmer. It was a great question given all I’ve been doing with Hackasaurus and the Canada.com article – the answer is ‘no’ but also ‘sure…if that’s what she wants to do’. Technology, programming – hacking is something I can speak about …
[ Continue Reading... ]Well, it’s been a fairly interesting week – both professionally and in my direction with teaching kids programming through Hackasuarus. I am really astounded at the speed of response and progress, both through support in the Mozilla community, through my office, hometown and beyond. Canada.com Tech did an article on Hackaurus, via an interview with …
