Edublogs are going to make records of our thoughts over time, if we put them down to be found. I have been distracted be many wonderful blogs lately -- but one of my favourite blogs have been by Glenn Groulx and tonight I listened to his podcast which was inspiring enough to keep me working longer.
I've been doing a lot of work for the Canadian Art Therapy Association (CATA)lately as the Educational committee is doing a review of the art therapy institutes, colleges, and universities in Canada.
Also, CATA has a wonderful conference coming up in Winnipeg, November 5th to 7th, and Nick, the president of CATA, and I are moderating a panel of 8 panelists from 8 Canadian Art Therapy institutions. It will be very thought provoking and inspiring. I imagine the panel discussion will highlight many challenges, but also bring hope.

Update since graduation
Hi,
I graduated from the Graduate Diploma in Distance Education and Technology.
I'm reflecting on the program and what it meant to me and my career development.
Overall I had great learning opportunities. What I liked best was the dialogues with other students in forum conferences and on Me2U social software posts.
At this point I have got involved with ipeace and that has really been interesting and I have made many online friends. I have decided to support Amarok, a charity endeavor for "Mothers of Intention" -- Educating Mothers and their children -- and thereby, communities in poor areas of Bangladesh. I am excited about some artists and art therapists I know, painting and raising money for this worthy "learning". The Mothers and their children learn math and English as well as their own language.
I am hopeing to construct a model for both the American Dance Therapy Association members and for the Canadian Art Therapist Members -- that will help them learn and teach online. I will be presenting to both of them -- one in October, if accepted, and one is for sure in May.
In this way I hope the DistanceEducationOutreach begins to happen in the areas of my interest.
