Trevor MacKenzie is an award winning English teacher at Oak Bay High School in Victoria, BC, Canada, who believes that it is a magical time to be an educator. By increasing student agency over learning, weaving in strong pedagogy, transformative tech use, and sharing learning to a public audience, Trevor’s learners are ready to take on important roles in the 21st century.
Trevor uses technology to enhance his teaching as he experiments with the flipped classroom, self-directed and inquiry-based learning, iPad Ed, and exploring student blogging as a means to reflect on their learning. He strives to make learning public and meaningful and support innovation and connectedness amongst educators.
