This class is one of the only online classes I’ve had which really created a community online. However, I’ll be the first to admit I wasn’t the best at keeping up with these communities. I don’t know how, but I only found our community discord halfway through the semester. I also enjoyed looking through and […]
As the semester comes to a close, so does my Learning Project. Honestly, this may have been my favorite part of the semester in general. I’ve never been someone with a huge social media presence. If you could see my Instagram, you’d see I really only post once every couple of years. My last post was […]
So for this final project, I decided to revisit making a video with Canva. It seems to work better when you use it to build a slideshow than using it to edit down a video, so it was perfect for this final summary of learning. Recording was still a bit of a pain with it, […]
This week we were tasked to try out some kind of AI tool and see if it could be useful for us as teachers. I honestly didn’t expect any of them to be useful past maybe helping out with information. Instead, I’m shocked to find out that Diffit seems like almost a cheat code. I […]
The last step, the final touch, the last addition to any cocktail: The garnish. Image taken from MarthaStewart.com The garnish is often seen as the least important part of a cocktail, which may very well be true. However, I’ve always believed there’s something to be gained from them. A garnish will often add a subtle, […]
I think every single student my age has learned the same amount of Digital Literacy in school, and that amount is low. We were told the following information: Don’t use Wikipedia, use good sources like Britannica. Which, to be fair, Britannica is a good place to find information, but I don’t think a single one […]
For this weeks project, I wanted to talk about ordering a drink. Not how to walk into a bar and order something, but what goes into actually ordering a drink. Orders like “a dry Hendricks martini, dirty, on the rocks” tells you a lot about the drink you’ll have to make. Starting with the cocktails […]
When it comes to coding, I have a decent amount of experience. In fact, I’ve worked with Scratch before, but it was in high school. However, it was pretty easy to jump back in. I was able to throw a game together pretty quickly, even if it is pretty basic and rough. It basically just […]
This week, I was placed in a grade 4/5 classroom. For the first time, the teacher I was placed with actually asked us for help. She had me and the other university student with me take a few of the kids to read in the hallways. I think this was a great way to show […]
This week I was placed in a grade 1/2 split class. The morning announcement, as always, started with the Treaty 4 land acknowledgement. I was surprised to hear that the kids rehearsed it with the announcements, just like singing O Canada. This had been the first classroom I was in to rehearse this, and it […]
