Where Goldfish Come From - Lee LeFever


Everyone knows goldfish and koi, but very few have ever thought about where they come from how they are bred, raised, transported, etc. Lee LeFever knows these things like the back of his hand. Since 1965, the LeFever family in North Carolina has owned and operated one of the largest fish hatcheries in the US. Blue Ridge Fish Hatchery raises and sells tens of millions of goldfish and Koi a year.

Blended Learning in Plain English


Inspired by Lee LeFever (@leelefever) when he did a talk at RCAC in London Ontario in early December, this video has been a labour of love as many people do not understand Blended Learning and I hope to rectify this. Blended learning is a powerful change in pedagogy from the chalk and talk method of 'lesson delivery'. Teachers can embrace their inner 'Guide on the Side' instead of the 'Sage on the Stage' and foster inquiry, collaboration, and support the 21st century learner. Please visit my website for examples of ways to blend learning and to optimize student engagement and acheivement - learninghood.ca . Check out my Scoop.it at http for articles and resources that support the Blended Learning movement.
