My name is Julie Hiebert and I am working on my Ed degree, middle years program. I am originally from Saskatoon but reside at Buffalo Pound Lake. I am loving lake life and the serenity I get residing here. I have three grown children and have become an empty nester a couple years ago, which was my cue to get busy and do what I have always wanted to do. Be a teacher. 
I am not very good with technology but I am happy to be taking Edtech300 as there are many things I need to learn. I enjoy writing and I’m realizing, that blogging is just a collection of written articles, videos, photos, opinions or otherwise, and artistic expression. Making a blog appears to be more simple than expected with the exception of continually second guessing tasks I complete. I have worked with numerous students on different projects on computers in a classroom setting, but it’s not the same as having to navigate technology in the classroom. I have observed some of the teachers and their resources they had available like different communication platforms, smart boards etc. Learning how to navigate will be an important skill one day when I’m in the classroom in a leadership role.

People may not remember what you say, but they will always remember how you made them feel.
Good day, Julie. I am glad to have clicked your name to read more about you. I am nowhere near being an empty nester, but I am close with my mother-in-law who is, and she is also working on her career in early childhood education. We both share a passion for working with children, which is maybe why we get along so well 🙂 As I was reading your intro, I felt we were very similar when it comes to technology. We must learn these new tools so that we can keep up with our students and provide them with all the necessary tools that are being offered 🙂 Take care.
