Hello!

My name is Cresencia Fong and I'm from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

I'm interested in this course because I have been following the course instructors via Twitter and because I'd like to experience doing an "open course" (my first one!!!). My only fear is that I won't be able to participate as actively as I would like...

I am currently doing year 2 of a PhD program in Curriculum Studies and Teacher Development (OISE) and also Knowledge Media Design (UT). I hold an MA from OISE in Educational Technology.

I am an educator (primary, junior, and intermediate grades) with the Toronto District School Board and am currently on leave. I have also done consulting work with the school board as Instructional Leader in the area of ICT and e-Learning. In this capacity, I provided professional development and classroom support to K-12 teachers and their students.

I'm keenly interested in using educational technology to maximize learning, and eagerly look forward to learning with all of you!

Cheers,
Cresencia
