Rob Theriault commented on Emma Heffernan's group 'Digital Pedagogy'
I like the "Flip Thinking" concept although the content of the video would be the key. A video lecture of the teacher would make me want to poke my eyes out with a sharp pencil. A narrated powerpoint would be a step up or better…
Rob Theriault replied to Alice Keeler's discussion 'iPad?'
I've had the iPad for a week now and I am absolutely in awe. I spoke with the publishers of the textbooks my students will purchase to make sure the alternative e-books are available. I am looking forward to seeing what the e-textbooks are…

Hi Rachel....screencasting involves recording the activity on your computer and is usually narrated. I use a free screencasting tool called Jing to record narrated Powerpoint presentations. These are 2-5 minute mini presentations to cover key…
Rob Theriault replied to Kathy Shirley's discussion 'iPod and Podcasting Best Practices' in the group Exploring Audio Tools to Improve Learning
HI Kathy,
I have been Podcasting for some time and my students love to use the Podcasts to review information and rewrite their notes. One of the most powerful uses of Podcasts I have found however was to have my students (paramedic program) create…

Rob Theriault replied to David Kapuler's discussion 'iPad in the Classroom'
I think iPad and iPad-like technologies will be a game changer. See my blog (scroll to bottom of page) for the full comment....
1. All their texbooks will (eventually) be digital.
2. Sudents will be able to download Podcasts and Vodcasts we create…
Rob Theriault replied to Kendra Larmour's discussion 'Podcasting daily lessons'
I record my classes using the following free resources:
For a mic: I use either the built in mic from my laptop, or like Steve, I use a bluetooth ear piece and mic. This allows me to walk around.
Recording: I use Audacity. It's a free…
Rob Theriault replied to Sarah Perry's discussion 'Use of web 2.0 in adult ed - examples needed!' in the group Technology in Adult Education
Hi Sarah,
I am slowly piecing together a page on my blog where I describe and showcase to web 2.0 tools. I am always experimenting and learning from other educators. My blog is called Paramedic Tutor and although it's aimed at paramedic…
Rob Theriault commented on Sabrina Fu's blog post 'Jing Goes Pro: One of Our Favorite Screencasting Tools Just Got Better'
I want to convert some Jing swf files I've already created to mpeg4 format with the Jing Pro that I just downloaded. Will Jing Pro convert?

Rob Theriault commented on Barry Bakin's group 'Technology in Adult Education'
After receiving gentle pressure from some peers i created a blog where I intend to share what I learn or have learned about education technologies through exploration or from others. Click on the link above and then look under the eLearner or the…
Rob Theriault replied to Josh Seamon's discussion 'If you could show off one of the ways you've used technology in your classroom, which one would it be?'
There's a fine line between keener and weiner and I tend to walk that line frequently. I've experimented with a lot of technologies and have learned a great deal from other teachers. Thankfully the folks at the Centre for Teaching and…
Rob Theriault replied to Andrew Reinhard's discussion 'Tools for making enhanced podcasts (aka audiobooks) on Windows XP'
I use Jing to create mini enhanced Podcasts. Jing is a free screencasting tool that enables you to capture whatever you are doing on your computer screen and narrate it simultaneously. You can see sample samples on my blog under the eLeaner tab.

About me
Hello my name is Rob. I coordinate and teach an entry level 2 year Primary Care Paramedic program and a post-diploma Advanced Care Paramedic program at a community college in Ontario, Canada. I am a paramedic by profession and have been teaching on an off during my entire 25 year paramedic career. When it comes to technology and am sensitive to the notion that pedagogy must drive technology and inspired by the posibilities technology offers.
Here are some of my current techology related projects:
- I have been creating Podcasts and enhanced Podcasts since 2005 (using audacity for audio recordings and Adobe Presenter and Elluminate for enhanced Podcasts. Last year I started giving nmy students audio assignments where they record medical reports based on a pre-determined sequence of information and a rubric.
- I have been using Elluminate for synchonous online learning since 2008.
- I started creating Wiki assignments this year for two of my classes
- Our students use PDAs to track their hospital and field competencies.
The following presentation on Chest Trauma is a Podcast I recorded on March 23, 2009

- Hello Rob and welcome to classroom2.0 You certainly come with one of the more unusual teaching areas. I teach in Australia and as I live in a small rural, remote type area, my husband and I are members of the CERT team (Community Emergency Response Team) so we are trained continually in first aid and go to an ambulance callout, keep the patient comfortable until the ambulance comes, as the ambulance is at least 30 mins away.

eNoteFile is notetaking and filing software which allows users to create, sync and share their electronic notes.
Paramedics would find it useful I think.
Regards,
Bruce
