Peter Rawsthorne, M.Ed IT, B.Tech

Why I am participating

1. I've got three kids Ana Rose (November 1995), Lucas (June 2005) & Kai (June 2006)
2. Web literacy and digital divide issues are really important to me
3. I strongly believe efforts focusing on web literacy and digital divide need to be grassroots, community driven and focused on the independent learner (traditional institutional education has it backwards)
4. I was heavily involved in WikiEducator for over three years, I disengaged because they were moving away from the innovator role way to soon (IMHO) and they had started to embrace the traditional institution. Philosophical differences began to emerge. I also believe they were doing many many things right, experience I hope to share here.
5. I recently finished a major three year initiative to increase access to legal education for BC lawyers, working with the Continuing Legal Education Society of British Columbia (CLEBC). During this time we launched seven major projects that included the use of many emerging internet technologies and pedagogical approaches. I believe my efforts with CLEBC could be of great benefit to current Mozilla initiatives.
6. I have a Bachelor of Technologies (Databases, Software Development) and a Masters of Education with focus on Information Technology
7. I've taught adults and children for over 15 years, both online and in the classroom.
8. I deeply enjoy creating curriculum and courses
9. Through time I have built a lot of software, stewarded a number of online communities and created a lot of OER
10. I really miss the work I was doing with WikiEducator, I really hope Mozilla stays focused on the hands-on learning of individuals and in promoting ways for people to educate themselves both inside and outside of the institutions.
