I am currently enrolled in the PID program learning all sorts of wonderful "tools" to assist me as an instructor in my classroom. As an educator, I truly believe in life-long learning. I feel as though you are only limited by what you know - there is so much one can strive to learn but we must be motivated to do so. I am a part of the group who created this wiki as a project, but it has taught me so much about group work, research, wikis and the topic of motivation. I hope you enjoy perusing around!


 * //**Lesley Head **// [[image:group2pidp3250/LesleyPic20001.JPG width="176" height="286" align="left"]]My official name is Captain Lesley Head . I have been a sea captain since 1998. At that time I opened a marine school for classroom and on-the-water training in Sidney BC. I have expanded now to include training for commercial operators in Canada. My school, Heads-Up Navigation, is accredited by Transport Canada. One of the challenges to be a TC approved school was to write the manuals under specific TC guidelines. As a captain and previously a forensic accountant this was a great challenge. Now I am again stepping up to a new challenge, obtaining my teaching diploma. As a part of the PIDP community I am proud to be associated with other like minded individuals. Check me out at [|www.headsupnav.com] when you have some free time, Cheers!!

> As an instructor of Biology, I have more than two decades of experience in sparking the students in classroom and teaching them online in virtual setup. With my co-author husband, Dr Subroto Biswas, I penned down several books in life sciences. Some are - //Signature of Biology, Objective Biology for Students of medicine, Book of genetics, The Five Kingdoms, Cell Biology and The Book of Genetics//. Still, I feel life is too small to gain more. I proudly admit myself to be a student. I believe in being life long learner and this instinct pushed me to PID Program at VCC. This has given me ample of opportunity to play with innumerable media tools which are the foundations of 21st century teaching and learning. I specialize in the field of Cell Biology, Plant Anatomy and Physiology, Toxicology, Biotechnology, Animal Anatomy and physiology. [] >
