I am an English and Canadian & World Studies Department Head in Southwestern Ontario. I strive to provide rich and meaningful learning experiences for my students. I am particularly interested in the role technology, especially video games, can play in education. In collaboration with my students, I have created video games designed to teach students about ancient Egypt, Victorian England, Ancient Egypt, and even grammar. Yes, grammar. If you have ever wanted to battle grammatically challenged super-villains, now is your chance. You can find these games (and more!) at http://pedrech.ca/.
