About Peter Skillen

I am a learner and I am a teacher. Simple. The two, for me, are inseparable and part of the whole. After 4 decades in the K-12 field, I am now Manager of Professional Learning with the YMCA of Greater Toronto. However, I am still deeply involved in educational practice through the Powerful Learning Practice (PLP), the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), the Ontario Teachers’ Federation (OTF), the Educational Computing Organization of Ontario (ECOO), Minds On Media, and, of course, in online learning spaces. :-)
