My Public Timeline on Swurl
Unfortunately, Swurl has gone away.  I will continue to look for something to do the same thing.  This link has been removed.

My Delicious Bookmarks
As I wander around the internet, I do bookmark things for later reference or in my monthly newsletter.  I keep them here.  You’ll find the latest in the sidebar on the blog and also, when it’s working, as a daily blog post automatically by the Delicious API.

My Professional Development Wiki
I have moved some of the workshops that I do to this Wiki.  I encourage you to join the Wiki and edit the pages with your own ideas about how to make the workshop or PD resources better.

My GECDSB Website
This is the website that I maintain with the Greater Essex County District School Board.  Here, you’ll find resources that I have developed for a number of different things.  Since the audience is K-12 for over 80 locations, there are lots of things there and it continually grows.

Webquest Locator
I’m a real fan of the Webquest as a structured way for students and teachers to use the Internet in the classroom.  As I find Webquests, they are categorized by subject area or age group and put in this searchable database.

Monthly Newsletter
Once a month, I create and post this 10-12 page newsletter to provide some inspiration for the use of computers and technology in the classroom.

Twitter
This service is taking the internet by storm.  It’s a communication tool that you update 140 characters at a time.  Don’t sell it short and develop a network of followers or people to follow.

dougpeterson.ca
I believe that you need to carve out your own identify on the internet.  This site is mine and I share it with my kids who may share my passion some day.

Learning Objects
I have created a number of resources that are freely available from the OSAPAC Learning Object Repository.  Check out these free classroom downloads to support Ontario Ministry of Education licensed software.
