About
My name is Ben Porter and I teach grade 6 in downtown Toronto. I've been an educator for 11 years now, and I still feel like I'm brand new. I'm always searching. Searching for new ways to improve my teaching. Searching for new ways to engage my
students. I have a passion for wholistic project based learning. Worksheets make me nervous. I want my students to have authentic and meaningful experiences. I want them to remember the year they had in my class and take with them valuable lessons beyond the 12 times table. Join me as I seek out new apps and programs to facilitate deeper learning. There's a lot
of junk out there, but there is also a lot of amazing stuff. I'm eager to try it, and I have 30 eager guinea pigs who are happy to help out.
