      Crafting Responsive Experiences

      Responsive web design is an elegant, landmark approach that resonates with all of us, for we know that making our sites adapt to the ebb and flow of the web and myriad devices is a very good thing. But are we doing it right? With several months of real-world usage under our belts, how are we using this approach? What’s the difference between responsive and adaptive? Is this a silver bullet for mobile? And anyway, were we not always responsive?

      In this in-depth workshop, Simon will explore the purpose of being responsive, and juggle the numerous approaches, opinions, and concerns. He’ll demonstrate how to stay scalable; able to adapt to whatever is around the corner. He’ll show you how to prepare the foundations, maximise your responsiveness, and take care of mobile devices. He’ll also explore really creative ways to trigger all manner of wonders with media queries and other mind-blowing marvels.

      The leisure time of the Canadian family has fundamentally changed.
      What was once a series of fragmented, siloed entertainment experiences has coalesced back into shared encounters in the family living room. Intuitive, powerful technology is bringing the family back together, with the gaming console the heart of a household’s shared content—from TV shows to live gaming. It’s also an increasingly effective, if overlooked, portal into the family at rest and at play. But how are brands taking advantage of this seismic shift in the family dynamic? And what are the fresh opportunities in this new reality where pastime is an opportunity for deep family-wide connection.

      Join us at The Digital Living Room and the New Family Dynamic, an exclusive half-day event featuring thought leadership in this nascent space and practical strategy to map your game plan to.

      Founded in 2006, our Vancouver Women in Film Festival is one of only three film festivals in Canada featuring women filmmakers: the other two are Toronto’s Female Eye Film Festival, and the St John’s International Women’s Film Festival. As such, we bring filmmakers and audiences together, offering opportunities for women filmmakers in Western Canada that would not exist without us.

      All films screened at VWIFF must be created by women in at least three of the key creative roles (one woman may serve in more than one role): Writer, Producer, Director, D.O.P., Lead Actor, Lead Animator / Editor, or Lead Composer. We encourage submissions featuring strong female characters and stories.

      In addition to screening approximately 50 Canadian and International short and feature films (narratives, documentaries, and animation), VWIFF 2012 will include:

      * The Spotlight Awards Gala™ on International Women’s Day (includes WIFT International Short Film Showcase screening) – Thursday, March 8, 2012
      * Digital Media Masterclass (digital storytelling across multiple platforms) and Networking Reception – Friday, March 9, 2012
      * Pitching Sessions – Friday, March 9, 2012
      * Film Screenings (10 sessions) – Friday, March 9, 2012 to Sunday, March 11, 2012 – featuring a Yukon Short Film Showcase screening curated by Lulu Keating
      * Networking Lunch panel presentation – Saturday, March 10, 2012 – moderated by Carol Whiteman
      * Meet the Filmmaker brunch – Sunday, March 11, 2012
      * Visual artists, industry exhibits, and equipment demonstrations in the theatre atrium – Friday, March 9, 2012 to Sunday, March 11, 2012

      Here’s what filmmakers have to say: “Our film screened at VWIFF in 2011, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The energy and support was infectious. We are looking forward to submitting our next project for next year’s festival.”

      The Vancouver Women in Film Festival celebrates these wonderful filmmakers with artists’ fees as well as cash and in-kind awards through the generous support of Legacy Filmworks, Women In the Director’s Chair (Creative Women Workshops Association), Kodak Canada, and a variety of other sponsors.

      Festival de robotique, Montreal
      8:00 am – 6:00 pm

      Québec

      http://festivalderobotique.ca/

      Bombardier, BMO Groupe Financier, Fusion Jeunesse, Robotique FIRST Québec et le Réseau réussite Montréal ont annoncé ce matin, aux côtés des partenaires du milieu scolaire, la tenue du premier Festival de robotique au Québec qui aura lieu à Montréal, du 15 au 17 mars 2012 au Stade Uniprix. Cet événement d’envergure réunira plus de 5 000 personnes, en provenance de 67 écoles du Québec, et mettra en vedette des jeunes du secondaire et du primaire à travers des défis technologiques d’envergure.

      « Dans les dernières années, les entreprises, les universités et le milieu scolaire se sont mobilisés afin d’impliquer les jeunes québécois dans des projets de robotique pédagogique et ce, afin de faire éclore leurs talents d’ingénieur et de promouvoir la persévérance scolaire », a déclaré Laurent Beaudoin, Président du CA de Bombardier Inc. et co-fondateur et président du CA de Robotique FIRST Québec.

      Forts de cette mobilisation, et considérant la demande grandissante des écoles du Québec, cinq commissions scolaires du Québec ont libéré, au total, 34 enseignants (22 enseignants du secondaire et 12 enseignants du primaire). À Montréal : 22 de la CSDM et 5 de la CSMB. À Sherbrooke : 3 de la CSRS. À Québec et à Rimouski : 1 de la CSC et 1 de la CSPhares. L’objectif ultime derrière ces libérations est d’intégrer la robotique pédagogique dans le cursus scolaire des jeunes, en lien avec les sciences, les mathématiques et la technologie.

      « L’effort et l’audace des commissions scolaires nous permettent d’engager plus de jeunes à risque, de valoriser des enseignants passionnés, et d’outiller les écoles qui désirent innover », a souligné Gabriel Bran Lopez, Fondateur et Directeur général de Fusion jeunesse et co-fondateur de Robotique FIRST Québec.

      De nouveaux partenariats innovateurs en robotique pédagogique ont été annoncés :

      POUR LES 9-13 ANS : DÉFIS BASÉS SUR LA TECHNOLOGIE LEGO®

      Appuyés par des enseignants engagés et engageants, et par des jeunes du secondaire qui agissent à titre de mentors, des élèves du primaire construisent, testent et programment des robots autonomes construits à l’aide de la technologie LEGO® Mindstorms NXT afin de résoudre une série de missions axées sur une thématique spécifique.

      Cette thématique varie d’année en année, mais quoi qu’il advienne, les élèves doivent rechercher des solutions, acquérir de nouvelles connaissances et partager leurs trouvailles innovantes en les présentant à une équipe d’experts. Cette année, nos jeunes du primaires, et certains jeunes du secondaire, vont explorer deux thèmes : La sécurité alimentaire de La Ligue de Légo FIRST, et les civilisations disparues de Zone01.

      « En impliquant des jeunes du secondaire à titre de mentors, nous assurons un continuum entre les écoles primaires, les écoles secondaires, les institutions postsecondaires et l’industrie », a déclaré L. Jacques Ménard, président de BMO Groupe financier Québec et président du CA de Fusion Jeunesse.

      POUR LES 14-18 ANS : « LA COUPE STANLEY DES ROBOTS » DE ROBOTIQUE FIRST QUÉBEC

      FIRST en cinq mots : FAVORISER l’INSPIRATION et la RECONNAISSANCE des SCIENCES et de la TECHNOLOGIE

      Le défi des jeunes est d’envergure : Chaque école a six semaines pour construire un robot fonctionnel, de haute qualité, et capable de pratiquer un sport. De septembre à mai, et au cours des six semaines intensives de construction, les jeunes travaillent avec des enseignants, des experts universitaires et des ingénieurs, ce qui leur permet d’approfondir et de mettre en pratique leurs connaissances scientifiques. Le but ultime est très stimulant: affronter d’autres robots lors du championnat international.

      C’est pour cette raison que nous l’appelons, entre nous, « LA COUPE STANLEY DES ROBOTS » et le « LE SPORT DU GÉNIE », a lancé Gabriel Bran Lopez.

      DERRIÈRE CETTE MOBILISATION SOCIÉTALE

      Le milieu des affaires, conscient de la nécessité de s’engager dans la lutte au décrochage scolaire, a déployé ses forces afin de permettre à un plus grand nombre de jeunes d’avoir accès à la robotique pédagogique. Laurent Beaudoin et L. Jacques Ménard ont contribué à la création de Robotique FIRST Québec et à l’expansion de Fusion Jeunesse, autour desquels plusieurs universités, entreprises et institutions québécoises se sont mobilisées pour appuyer les jeunes dans la construction de leurs robots :

      Partenaires Platine: Bombardier Inc. et la Fondation J.A. Bombardier, BMO Groupe Financier, Fusion Jeunesse
      Partenaires Or : CAE, Hydro-Québec, Vigilant Futures, Ville de Montréal, Réseau réussite Montréal
      Partenaires Argent : Pratt & Whitney Canada, Future Électronique, Autodesk, Héroux Devtek, CGI, BRP, Ministère du Développement économique, de l’Innovation et de l’Exportation
      Partenaires stratégiques : Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec, Zone01, Brault & Bouthillier, Carrefour jeunesse-emploi de la Capitale-Nationale, Jeune Chambre de commerce de Montréal, Chambre de Commerce du Montréal Métropolitain, Caisse Desjardins De Lorimier, Ville de Québec, Ville de Rimouski
      Universités : Université de Sherbrooke, École Polytechnique de Montréal, École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), Université Concordia, Université Laval, Université du Québec à Rimouski, Université de Montréal, Université du Québec à Montréal, HEC Montréal et Université McGill.
      Commissions scolaires : de Montréal (CSDM), Marguerite-Bourgeoys, de la Région de Sherbrooke, des Phares, de la Pointe-de-l’Île, English-Montreal, Lester B. Pearson, Crie et Marie-Victorin.
      Collaborateurs : Carrefour des sciences et technologies de l’Est du Québec, Société de Développement Social de Ville-Marie, Didac-Tic, BlueStorm Media, Interactive Intelligence, MDA Corporation, Agence Spatiale Canadienne, Rio Tinto Alcan

      UNE INVITATION À LA PREMIÈRE ÉDITION

      Les partenaires sont donc fiers de présenter – et de vous inviter à – la première édition du Festival de robotique, qui se déroulera à Montréal, du 15 au 17 mars 2012, au Stade Uniprix.

      Les équipes du Grand Montréal, de l’Estrie, du Bas-Saint-Laurent, de la Capitale-Nationale, de la Rive-Nord et de la Mauricie feront tout pour vous démontrer leurs capacités technologiques.

      De plus, le Stade Uniprix sera divisé en plusieurs « zones » afin de maximiser le travail des jeunes et l’expérience des invités, notamment : ZONE DU PROFESSIONNALISME COOPÉRATIF™ (les puits), ZONE DU SPORT DU GÉNIE (les gradins), ZONE DE TRAVAIL ET D’INNOVATION (les machines à outils), et ZONE DE L’ENGAGEMENT SOCIAL (les bénévoles).

      Bombardier, BMO Groupe Financier, Fusion Jeunesse, Robotique FIRST Québec et le Réseau réussite Montréal ont annoncé ce matin, aux côtés des partenaires du milieu scolaire, la tenue du premier Festival de robotique au Québec qui aura lieu à Montréal, du 15 au 17 mars 2012 au Stade Uniprix. Cet événement d’envergure réunira plus de 5 000 personnes, en provenance de 67 écoles du Québec, et mettra en vedette des jeunes du secondaire et du primaire à travers des défis technologiques d’envergure.

      « Dans les dernières années, les entreprises, les universités et le milieu scolaire se sont mobilisés afin d’impliquer les jeunes québécois dans des projets de robotique pédagogique et ce, afin de faire éclore leurs talents d’ingénieur et de promouvoir la persévérance scolaire », a déclaré Laurent Beaudoin, Président du CA de Bombardier Inc. et co-fondateur et président du CA de Robotique FIRST Québec.

      Forts de cette mobilisation, et considérant la demande grandissante des écoles du Québec, cinq commissions scolaires du Québec ont libéré, au total, 34 enseignants (22 enseignants du secondaire et 12 enseignants du primaire). À Montréal : 22 de la CSDM et 5 de la CSMB. À Sherbrooke : 3 de la CSRS. À Québec et à Rimouski : 1 de la CSC et 1 de la CSPhares. L’objectif ultime derrière ces libérations est d’intégrer la robotique pédagogique dans le cursus scolaire des jeunes, en lien avec les sciences, les mathématiques et la technologie.

      « L’effort et l’audace des commissions scolaires nous permettent d’engager plus de jeunes à risque, de valoriser des enseignants passionnés, et d’outiller les écoles qui désirent innover », a souligné Gabriel Bran Lopez, Fondateur et Directeur général de Fusion jeunesse et co-fondateur de Robotique FIRST Québec.

      De nouveaux partenariats innovateurs en robotique pédagogique ont été annoncés :

      POUR LES 9-13 ANS : DÉFIS BASÉS SUR LA TECHNOLOGIE LEGO®

      Appuyés par des enseignants engagés et engageants, et par des jeunes du secondaire qui agissent à titre de mentors, des élèves du primaire construisent, testent et programment des robots autonomes construits à l’aide de la technologie LEGO® Mindstorms NXT afin de résoudre une série de missions axées sur une thématique spécifique.

      Cette thématique varie d’année en année, mais quoi qu’il advienne, les élèves doivent rechercher des solutions, acquérir de nouvelles connaissances et partager leurs trouvailles innovantes en les présentant à une équipe d’experts. Cette année, nos jeunes du primaires, et certains jeunes du secondaire, vont explorer deux thèmes : La sécurité alimentaire de La Ligue de Légo FIRST, et les civilisations disparues de Zone01.

      « En impliquant des jeunes du secondaire à titre de mentors, nous assurons un continuum entre les écoles primaires, les écoles secondaires, les institutions postsecondaires et l’industrie », a déclaré L. Jacques Ménard, président de BMO Groupe financier Québec et président du CA de Fusion Jeunesse.

      POUR LES 14-18 ANS : « LA COUPE STANLEY DES ROBOTS » DE ROBOTIQUE FIRST QUÉBEC

      FIRST en cinq mots : FAVORISER l’INSPIRATION et la RECONNAISSANCE des SCIENCES et de la TECHNOLOGIE

      Le défi des jeunes est d’envergure : Chaque école a six semaines pour construire un robot fonctionnel, de haute qualité, et capable de pratiquer un sport. De septembre à mai, et au cours des six semaines intensives de construction, les jeunes travaillent avec des enseignants, des experts universitaires et des ingénieurs, ce qui leur permet d’approfondir et de mettre en pratique leurs connaissances scientifiques. Le but ultime est très stimulant: affronter d’autres robots lors du championnat international.

      C’est pour cette raison que nous l’appelons, entre nous, « LA COUPE STANLEY DES ROBOTS » et le « LE SPORT DU GÉNIE », a lancé Gabriel Bran Lopez.

      DERRIÈRE CETTE MOBILISATION SOCIÉTALE

      Le milieu des affaires, conscient de la nécessité de s’engager dans la lutte au décrochage scolaire, a déployé ses forces afin de permettre à un plus grand nombre de jeunes d’avoir accès à la robotique pédagogique. Laurent Beaudoin et L. Jacques Ménard ont contribué à la création de Robotique FIRST Québec et à l’expansion de Fusion Jeunesse, autour desquels plusieurs universités, entreprises et institutions québécoises se sont mobilisées pour appuyer les jeunes dans la construction de leurs robots :

      British Columbia

      ProductCamp Vancouver is an “un-conference” event, organized by volunteers from the high tech community in British Columbia.

      This is our 2nd year after a very successful sold-out event in 2011.

      This one day event is hosted at the SFU Graduate School of Business in downtown Vancouver and facilitated by a number of professional organizations that generously sponsor ProductCamp with the intention of keeping it free for participation.

      During the event a series of concurrent facilitated discussions will be sourced from and selected by the participants, ensuring focus on relevant topics and interests. Participants will be encouraged to actively partake in the discussions and will be free to join and leave any discussion throughout the day.

      This un-conference is developed by and is principally intended for product managers and product marketing managers. Executive, sales, marketing, development and other professionals in the high tech community are also invited to partake freely in the event, while recognizing that the discussions will revolve around topics adjacent to or within the discipline of product management.

      We hope that participation in the discussions will increase skills and knowledge, will foster professional relationships, and provide greater recognition of product management as a critical profession for product and company success.

      ReelWorld Film Festival, Toronto

      Ontario

      Founded in 2001 by actress Tonya Lee Williams, ReelWorld encompasses two distinct yet complimentary entities: an annual spring film festival and a charitable foundation. The multi-faceted organization shares one vision – to change the face of Canadian cinema both on the screens and behind the scenes. ReelWorld promotes and fosters racially and culturally diverse artists who are emerging within the film industry.

      ReelWorld Mandate

      The following four objectives are put into place in order for ReelWorld to continuously meet its mandate to increase the representation of culturally diverse film artists in the Canadian film and television industry and to celebrate this diversity in video and film:

      *To showcase and promote the work of diverse film and video makers and film artists to Canadian and international audiences.
      *To facilitate a forum where film and video makers and other film artists can interact and pitch their ideas to producers and investors.
      *To bring together film and video makers and film artists from diverse Canadian communities to network, dialogue, share, critique, and support each other’s work and relevant works from the international community at large.
      *To provide training through seminars, workshops, and special events aimed at the racially and culturally diverse Canadian film and video making community.

      Our Stories. Our Talent. Our Films.

      Venues
      The main festival locations of the 2011 ReelWorld Film Festival are the Scotiabank Theatre and the Canada Square Theatre. The Scotiabank Theatre at 259 Richmond Street West will serve as the official venue of the gala screenings, while the Canada Square Theatre at 2200 Yonge Street will run all regular screenings and industry series.

      The Scotiabank Theatre (formerly Paramount) is located right downtown Toronto at the corner of Richmond and John. The theatre includes 14 screens that all have floor-to-ceiling curved screens and stadium-style seating. They are also wired up with Digital Sound, Surround Sound and THX systems. Parking can be found in a lot 1 block East, and the theatre is a 5 minute walk from the Ossington St. subway station.

      The Canada Square Theatre is a comfortable 13-screen theatre at the corner of Yonge and Eglington in downtown Toronto just a little north from the Scotiabank Theatre.

      http://victoriasteamexpo.com/

      Steampunk is the collision of history, technology, imagination, and attitude. Nineteenth-century sensibilities with impossible Jules-Verne-inspired technology. Teak-panelled computers, corsets and jetpacks, top hats and rayguns.

      This year’s Victoria Steam Exposition is hosted by the magnificent 1890 mad-scientist lair of Craigdarroch Castle, a monument to the exuberance of the Victorian age. Its endless panelling, brass speaking-tubes and soaring spires with widow’s-walks lend the perfect backdrop to absinthe-inspired imaginings of time-travel and airship pirates. The show’s celebrity authors include Kaja and Phil Foglio, whose illustrative work and storytelling are legendary among comics fans and gamers.

      The $50 weekend pass gives you access to the castle and its permanent collections, as well as steampunk jewelers, tinkers, corsetieres, milliners, leather and glassworkers, artisans and anachronists. Additionally there are continuous panel discussions on costuming, history, literary readings, and prop-making.

      Headlining the Saturday evening event is San Francisco’s glam-noir siren Jill Tracy, who will conduct a seance communing with the spirits not of the departed, but of the castle’s nineteenth-century Steinway pianos. Burlesque dancers and gypsy folk music will intertwine with tattoo artists, brass goggles, and mad contraptions. The cabaret evening is included in the weekend price, although guests may be expected to stand given the constraints of the architecture.

      Sunday features a Victorian picnic on the castle’s lawns, complete with period refreshments, entertainment, and a children’s costume contest.

      Not your typical “con” or convention, Canada’s premiere steampunk event, VSE II is more intimate; a living art-show with evocative venues, and more oriented around conversation and sharing in an authentic Victorian atmosphere.

      WEEKEND PASSES ARE NOW AVAILABLE! $50 each available for advance purchase now.
      *Children 13 and under are free when accompanied by a ticketed adult.

      FRIDAY EVENING VIP RECEPTION & ABSINTHE-TASTING TICKETS ($30) are likewise available now.

      * Aether Class tickets ($200) include all admissions, reserved seating, and a basket of gifts in thanks for your superior support of this illustrious event.  Available only until Dec 23rd!

      * Cabaret Burlesque Tickets ($20) will be available once we officially announce our guests.  Priority sales will be offered to holders of Weekend passes and Reception attendees, so there’s no danger of selling-out for VSE III guests.

      So what is a TechFest?
      1. By and For the Community -TechFests are about the community at large. They are meant to be a place for developers AND IT Professionals to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community.

      2. Always Free – TechFests are always free for attendees.

      3. Community Developed Material – The success of the TechFest’s is that they are based on community content. All content that is delivered is original. All presentation content must be provided (including any code and your slide decks). If you have content you don’t want to share or provide to attendees then the TechFest is not the place for you.

      4. No Fluff – TechFests are about getting to the nitty gritty. Refer to rule #1 if you have any questions on this.

      5. Community Ownership – The most important element of the TechFest is always the community. All are welcome to attend and speak and do so without expectation of payment or any other compensation other than their participation in the community.

      6. Never occur during work hours – We need to understand that many times people can’t leave work for a day or two to attend training or even seminars. The beauty of the TechFest is that they always occur on weekends.

      Building on the success of OWC on the first weekend in May each year, our mandate is to conduct educational, challenging and interactive workshops, panels, roundtables, mentoring sessions, etc. led by writers, arts-related facilitators and industry professionals.

      We are proud to present: Ontario Writers’ Conference 2012 on May 5th, 2012. We are most fortunate to have as our honorary patron, the acclaimed award-winning Canadian author Wayson Choy.

      Adaptive Web Design

      More information on this event will be available on March 7th

      For years, designers and developers have griped about the difficulties they’ve encountered in supporting a handful desktop browsers, but with mobile web usage on the rise, we now have to deal with an even more fragmented browser landscape. Phones, tablets, media players and video game systems—each device (and in some cases each browser on each device) has its own dimensions, quirks and capabilities. It makes my brain hurt just thinking about it.

      Thankfully, supporting mobile—and providing better support for desktop browsers and assistive technologies—doesn’t have to be a painful experience. In this workshop, Aaron Gustafson will introduce you to the concept of Progressive Enhancement and demonstrate why it is the way forward for web design, whether on the desktop or in your hand.

      What will you learn?

      Aaron will teach you everything you need to know about modern web design with Progressive Enhancement. Whether you are a novice or an experienced professional, you will walk away from this workshop with a greater understanding of what Progressive Enhancement is and how to implement this philosophy in your own work. During the course of the day, you’ll:

      • Come to a greater understanding of semantic markup, including the improved semantics of HTML5
      • Become more familiar with how CSS parsers work and how you can use their logic to apply advanced CSS (including CSS3) in a layered fashion
      • See where concepts like “mobile first” and ”responsive design” fit in with Progressive Enhancement and your workflow
      • Learn how to wield the awesome power of JavaScript wisely, while keeping a watchful eye on how it can affect the user experience or your sites
      • See how accessibility concerns can be easily factored into your development process
      • Gain exposure to ARIA roles and states and learn how you can employ them to improve the experience of those using assistive technologies

      What should you bring?

      To get the most out of this workshop, come prepared to get out of your chair, discuss, debate, sketch, and collaborate on the redesign of a real web page using the techniques Aaron covers. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring a pen and some paper, but you probably won’t need to take notes as the slides will be provided for you. If you want to bring a computing device along, it could be helpful for playing along with some of the code examples, but is by no means necessary.

      What should you know?

      Ideally, you’ll have a decent understanding of the basic technologies used to build a website—HTML, CSS & JavaScript—but you’re technical knowledge doesn’t need to be deep in each of those areas. This workshop has a little something for everyone, whether you are a user experience designer or a hardcore backend developer. Regardless of your experience, you’ll walk away with tons of great ideas you can put to use in your own projects.

      Landlord Web Solutions is pleased to announce Landlord Web Con 2012. The team is already in the planning stages for the event, which is shaping up to be an even bigger and more comprehensive event than last year.

      Surveys from last year’s event indicated that there was a varying degree of familiarity with Internet marketing among landlords. So, this year’s event will be separated into two streams – intermediate and advanced. Intermediate presentations will introduce landlords to a topic and/or provide an overall view of how Internet marketing can be applied in the industry, while the advanced presentations will dive deeper into a subject, providing implementation suggestions and/or in-depth explanations of various Internet marketing strategies.

      The conference will again take place at the Pearson Convention Centre in Toronto, Ontario, on May 10, 2012. For guests arriving from out of town, the Hilton Garden Inn is now fully built, and is located right next door to the conference centre, which will provide added convenience.

      The planning team is now accepting sponsorship requests. Any supplier interested in sponsoring can contact Jason Leonard at (905) 397-5088.

      Any landlords who is interested in speaking at this year’s event can email Carissa Drohan at cdrohan@landlordwebsolutions.com.

      http://cnie.nipissingu.ca/indexen.html

      CNIE connects educators, administrators and practitioners in a bilingual, pan Canadian network. Our group promotes research and advances practice in both open and distance education and the use of educational technologies. CNIE addresses all educational contexts, including K-12, post-secondary, and private sector.

      If you are a 21st century digital leader who is committed to innovative, sustainable, and flexible education, come to Canmore, Alberta for the CNIE-RCIÉ’s Green Aware conference to be held on May 14-16, 2012. Whether you are a teacher, a researcher, a media specialist, an instructional designer, or an administrator, a May visit to Canmore, located in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, is the place to be.

      The idea of green has long been associated with protection of our environment and well it should. As green is the prime color of the world and, according to some, green is that from “which [the earth’s] loveliness arises” (Pedro Calderon de la Barca), it makes sense that green is associated with healing, freshness, endurance, and safety.

      Green Aware as the theme of this year’s CNIE-RCIÉ conference challenges us to think about education in green ways: as something we must protect to ensure quality, inclusiveness, and access for both learners and teachers.  Given that the “tie that binds” CNIE-RCIÉ members is use of educational technology in learning situations, this year’s conference is about  sharing practices, research findings, and applications that contribute to one or more of the following three sub-themes:

      • Educational Innovation
      • Sustainable Education
      • Flexible Teaching and Learning

      Canadian Network for Innovation in Education (CNIE) Conference, Canmore

      Alberta

      http://cnie.nipissingu.ca/indexen.html

      CNIE connects educators, administrators and practitioners in a bilingual, pan Canadian network. Our group promotes research and advances practice in both open and distance education and the use of educational technologies. CNIE addresses all educational contexts, including K-12, post-secondary, and private sector.

      If you are a 21st century digital leader who is committed to innovative, sustainable, and flexible education, come to Canmore, Alberta for the CNIE-RCIÉ’s Green Aware conference to be held on May 14-16, 2012. Whether you are a teacher, a researcher, a media specialist, an instructional designer, or an administrator, a May visit to Canmore, located in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, is the place to be.

      The idea of green has long been associated with protection of our environment and well it should. As green is the prime color of the world and, according to some, green is that from “which [the earth’s] loveliness arises” (Pedro Calderon de la Barca), it makes sense that green is associated with healing, freshness, endurance, and safety.

      Green Aware as the theme of this year’s CNIE-RCIÉ conference challenges us to think about education in green ways: as something we must protect to ensure quality, inclusiveness, and access for both learners and teachers.  Given that the “tie that binds” CNIE-RCIÉ members is use of educational technology in learning situations, this year’s conference is about  sharing practices, research findings, and applications that contribute to one or more of the following three sub-themes:

      • Educational Innovation
      • Sustainable Education
      • Flexible Teaching and Learning

      As we continue to try and organize a national educator conference on May 25-27, 2012 at Calgary Science School, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, we really want to invite others to take part in the planning from around the country. To facilitate that, the Calgary Regional Consortium has graciously offered to host an Elluminate room to help us with the planning.

      All of the work that we are doing for this event is with the goal to make a high quality learning experience for all participants, while also facilitating and fostering connections that will help us to further education locally, nationally, and globally. This is a chance to celebrate and push education in Canada. To do this, and recognize that there are expenses to get to the conference, we are doing everything in our power to keep the costs down to a minimum. All sessions are led by participants.

      With that being said, all work is done on a voluntary basis by educators passionate about Canadian education. If you are interested in helping with planning with the event, the first open meeting will be held on Sunday, November 27th, 4PM EST in this Elluminate room.

      After this first meeting, we will be looking for people to make more of a commitment to the planning of the conference. We want input from outside of Alberta to make this truly national.

      The Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences is the premiere destination for Canada’s scholarly community. Organized by the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS), Congress brings together thousands of scholars, students, practitioners and policy makers in a different city each year to share ideas, discuss today’s complex issues and enrich their research. They gather under the aegis of more than 70 associations representing a rich spectrum of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. From theatre, literature and education to history, sociology and international development, Congress represents a unique showcase of scholarly excellence, creativity, and leadership.

      Congress 2012 is being co-hosted by Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario. The theme for this year’s Congress is Crossroads: Scholarship for an Uncertain World.

      Finally, CFHSS gratefully acknowledges the support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

      The Vancouver Comic Arts Festival is a week-long celebration of comics slated to enjoy its launch in May 2012 (note: we have used the dates listed on the event site for this calendar listing). This festival of local cartoonists will feature galleries, readings, panels, and workshops before culminating in a two-day convention for cartoonists from across the country and down the coast to connect with their readers and peddle their wares.

      The goal of VanCAF is to appeal to everyone, whether they’re already die-hard comics fans or simply experimenting. For this reason, admission to all events will be free, and table costs for exhibitors will be as low as possible. We’re not so much concerned with making a profit as we are transforming Vancouver into a city of story-telling and comics.

      Responsive Enhancement

      More information on this event will be available on April 4th

      Responsive design is one of the most exciting developments to hit the web for some time. But there’s a common misconception that it involves merely slapping some media queries on to an existing desktop-centric site and labelling the result “mobile-friendly.” Nothing could be further from the truth.

      What will you learn?

      This workshop will help you to construct web sites that will feel natural on a whole range of devices, from mobile phones to tablets, laptops, e-readers and devices we haven’t even thought of yet. You’ll learn how to:

      • Ensure that no visitor is denied access to information.
      • Decide when to switch layouts using media queries.
      • Apply fluid layouts based on percentages.
      • Serve up different sized images for different environments .
      • Prioritise content.

      What should you bring?

      Bring some paper and a writing device (I find a pen works well). If you want to bring a laptop to play along with some of the code examples, you can but it isn’t necessary. I’ll give you all the slides and examples so don’t worry about frantically taking notes.

      What should you know?

      This workshop is aimed at both designers and developers (and if you’re a content strategist, there’s some good stuff for you too). There will be a healthy dollop of code (HTML, CSS and JavaScript) but it’s the concepts that really matter so don’t worry if you’re not that confident with development.

      Wristbands – full festival, 1-day, and Film-only – go on sale mid-April.

      NXNE 2011 was the festival’s best year ever, with over 300,000 people experiencing NXNE Music, Film and Interactive over 7 days. This year NXNE Music brought veterans of punk, new wave and hip-hop to the festival with blowout performances by Descendents, OFF!, Devo, Men Without Hats, The Pharcyde and Digable Planets. NXNE 2011 performers poised for a breakout year ahead include Braids, Grimes, Wild Nothing, Dirty Beaches and Prince Rama. And all NXNE 2011 artists enjoyed the rare opportunity to reach thousands of new fans, meet key industry people, be noticed by influential national & international media – and to take their careers to the next level.

      NXNE Music programs music across a full range of genres: rock, hip-hop, punk, alt-country, DJ, folk, electronica, reggae, experimental and more. NXNE Film screens features, documentaries, shorts, animations, and experimental films – anything in which music is front and centre.

      Now in its 18th year, North by Northeast Festivals and Conference (NXNE)has become the Canadian festival destination for emerging artists and major-label headliners, for music filmmakers, and for digital interactive innovators bridging the gap between technology and the arts. Seen as the most anticipated summer music event in Canada, NXNE Music, NXNE Film, and NXNE Interactive are an essential gathering for artists, industry, and fans. We’re based in Toronto, but bring a global perspective to our programming. NXNE’s mission is to

      • provide a forum for the best new music, in which fans can catch emerging artists – tomorrow’s stars – and today’s most popular acts at intimate club venues
      • screen the year’s most exciting music-themed films
      • explore and develop common ground between the creative industries and the interactive world
      • present Toronto with an annual marquee tourist destination festival by showcasing international headline performers at huge free outdoor concerts

      In all, NXNE runs 7 days and nights, draws over 300,000 attendees, and generates an annual economic impact of more than $47 million on the city of Toronto.

      For five days and nights, NXNE Music offers the hottest music and the freshest music-related ideas—all within a few km of each other. NXNE 2011 presented over 625 international, national and local acts at 50 official festival stages in downtown Toronto’s famous club district.

      Many performers have played NXNE on their way to major worldwide breakthroughs. Hotly tipped buzz bands and soon-to-be-discovered gems join international touring acts, making NXNE eclectic and exciting.

      NXNE Film screens 40+ of the year’s best music-themed features, documentaries, shorts, and experimental films from around the world. Directors ( like (Don Letts, Guy Maddin), producers, actors and musicians attend many of the screenings – many of which are world or Canadian premieres. NXNE 2011 showed 69 of the most interesting music-related films you’ll find anywhere.

      NXNE Interactive (NXNEi) is a digital interactive media conference like no other. It brings together content-creating artists, tech entrepreneurs, digital marketing gurus, web business experts, and social media aficionados for four days of workshops, presentations, and panels that explore the newest ideas in bridging the gap between creativity and the interactive world. NXNEi’s afternoon sessions combine the Music and Film focus in an event that engage the industry delegates who attend NXNE.

      VCON is a general interest convention. We don’t specialize in one limited area but cover the broad spectrum of fan interests. Convention programming includes fantasy and SF literature, art, movies and television, models and collectables, gaming, personalities and celebrities, comics, music, trivia, writing (a number of our members are published authors), the history of SF, astronomy, space programs past and present, unusual science, in fact – anything at all to do with fantasy and SF that you can think of – and, finally, the phenomenon of fandom in and of itself.

      VCON is organized by a standing subcommittee of the West Coast Science Fiction Association

All come to meet and network with peers, celebrate technology accomplishments, learn from a “who’s who” of key note speakers, and see demonstrations of the most advanced technologies that are driving public sector IT initiatives at all levels of government in Canada and other countries.

      The event continues to build on a proven format — an informative 4 day Conference, impressive 2 day Exhibition and a captivating evening that includes a Gala Award Ceremony celebrating IT public sector accomplishments at the municipal, provincial, and federal level.

      Let’s get together at our newest brewpub on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

      This meetup is just for regular discussion, mingling, and good times – just hang out!

      Note that the venue has limited capacity and no projectors or anything, it’s just an awesome pub. If you don’t RSVP, there’s no guarantee there’ll be seating for you (or you might have to sit all alone at another table!)
