Who are we?
Richard May is a first semester MET student. He is currently a Program Advisor at SAIT Polytechnic in Calgary, Alberta. Richard is a former PE teacher and has been an athlete all of his life. He also loves to travel and teach abroad. Richard believes that technology has the ability to give everyone who desires an education access to that education. In his free time he produces, music, writes, volunteers, and tries to be as active as possible.
Ping Zhang is a telecom engineer from Shanghai. She is passionate to use technology to help the learning of children. Ping is experienced in network design, computer-aided design and computer graphics. She’s interested to find out how to narrow the gap between the “general” information products to what is needed by learners in the new era. She believes that technology can connect children with the worldwide material and social resources to give them stereovisions of the world, and to free them from spoon-fed classrooms for more fruitful learning lives. In her spare time, she likes to play with her daughter and son. She likes travelling, music, movie and swimming.
Chenoa Dirks has recently started teaching at the elementary level after spending many years as an Early Childhood Educator, Teacher of Special Education, music teacher, and student. Her teaching philosophy focusses on discovery and project-based learning, where the student takes an active role in his/her own learning and the teacher takes on the role of facilitating the learning experience to meet the students developmental and learning abilities. In her spare time she loves to spend family time with her husband and four boys.

Design Rationale for this Presentation
This presentation has been designed to build on and extend the context of Piaget's developmental learning stages into the area of educational technology. Where it outlines Piaget's theory in its original context, it also provides opportunities for learners to connect the theory to its application within this same context.
We use following rationales to guide our design of this Piaget presentation for Piaget:
1) Start from experiences not general knowledge.
2) Experience goes before conceptions on each page.
3) "DIY (Do It Youself)" encourage learners to make a Piagetian design by themselves. They'll learn from hand-on experiences.
4) Learners are encouraged to explore the website in their own style. There are plenty of "More info" hyperlinks after each resource for deeper navigation.
5) Quiz after learning for staged development, and more information are provided after the answer.
6) Question invites discussion after independent learning on each page, i.e. accommodation after assimilation.
etc.
