Background

About Jack Lipinsky

Teaching and planning for student engagement in so many subjects has proved so interesting that I often wonder how quickly my career has flown by! I am very passionate and interested in applying technology best practises to the classroom. I also have gotten involved in curriculum design both in traditional course settings and in online courses, which I have facilitated and written course material for. I am particularly pleased to work with the Virtual High School of Ontario and the Virtual High School of America in online course design, teaching, and facilitation. I appreciate the power of the internet to engage learners across distance, and relish my role as moderator of civilized conversation, disciplined critical thinking, and creating an online atmosphere of safety blended with a "critical edge"​ that inspires students to explore the implications of their learning. i am proud of my diverse classroom teaching experiences and my success with very diverse learners. I seek to engage as many learners as possible and make them realize that learning requires passion.
