Hi everyone!

My name is Kendra. I am originally from Carrot River but now reside in Moose Jaw with my boyfriend, Tyler, our dog, Lottie, and our cats Louie and Uzi. When I am not doing classwork, I am usually completing random little projects in our home or out exploring with Lottie. I am going into my third year of the Pre-K to 5 education program, but I first started attending U of R in 2016 enrolled in the pre-social work program. I realized that social work was not what I wanted to do, so I took a year off, and then completed a hairstyling program. I knew that I always wanted to work with children, and whenever I got to have a kid in my chair at school it always brightened my day. Flash forward, I am very happy that I made the decision to come back to the U of R and I cannot wait to begin my teaching career!

I created this e-portfolio in my first year and have not really done much with it since so I am excited to dive back into it! I am getting closer to the end of my program and I cannot wait to give my page a refresh as well as learn some new tips and tricks. As for my experience with educational technology, I really don’t have much. I am a fan of taking online classes and have taken quite a few, but other than I really don’t have much experience. Though I don’t know much about the topic I am eager to learn and excited to use my new skills in my future classroom! I also do not have much for blogging experience, but so far I don’t think I mind it too much. I really like that we are able to create and personalize a space for us to share our work as I think it makes homework more fun!

When trying to upload my photo found at the end of this post, I was having troubles getting it to the proper size to upload. If you use Google devices and are having the same issues I found this forum post to be quite helpful. The app, Snapseed, is free and really easy to use!

Looking forward to reading everyone’s posts,

Kendra

My pets Uzi, Lottie, and Louie.
