About Me

Hello!

I am Daniel Maillet, OCT

I am an Ontario Certified Teacher, with my Junior, Intermediate and Senior Qualifications in History and English with multiple additional qualifications.

Degrees:
H.B.A with specialization in History, 2011
B.Ed 2012

I am a teacher with the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB). I currently teach online using the Learning Management System (LMS) Desire 2 Learn (D2L) teaching various levels of English. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me: jdr.maillet@gmail.com

I am a huge fan of blogging and the power it provides to students, teachers. It allow students to write for an authentic audience and for some other purpose other than just grades. Blogging basically allows a student to share their thoughts openly and receive feedback from various readers simultaneously. It also allows students to effectively become citizen journalists. For teachers, it allows a teacher to easily share lesson ideas, and connect with their peers in deep level professional development online.

A dedicated passionate teacher of history, I am always looking to learn something new from research and my students. I work hard everyday to help my students become self motivated independent learners.

For as long as I can remember I have loved history, and found it frustrating how many of my classmates, and most recently students believe that history is boring. I hope to change that persona in the minds of my students, and help grow a future generation of great historians. 

I have had the opportunity to travel to the Battlefields of France, Belgium and the Netherlands on two occasions; first in 2007 as a participant of the 90th Anniversary of Vimy Ridge Celebrations, where I represented L/Cpl Peter B. Armstrong who died on the ridge in 1917; and again in 2011 as part of the Canadian Battlefields Foundation Bursary Tour. I take every opportunity to use my experience on the Battlefields to teach my students the human cost of the two World Wars.
