The Mindful Grey: ECI 830 Summary of Learning
Wow, there just are no words. It’s cliche but that first class went by in a flash! Please enjoy my summary of learning. I keep trying to push myself outside of my comfort zones; from podcasts to videos…and now this. Slam poetry! Yes, you read that right, slam poetry…or my attempt at it.
None of this learning would have been possible without you all; so thank you for joining me on this snippet of my journey. Best wishes on your own path.
As well, I wanted to add closed captioning to my video, but I didn’t like how the words blocked my images. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, here’s a great website showing you how to view CC on any YouTube video.

Until we meet again…
My name is Kim, but I go by many nicknames - Kippster, Kippy, Charlie (random, I know) - basically anything EXCEPT Kimmy (please). My pronouns are she/her and I am honoured to live on Treaty 6 land. In the last 14 years, I have taught every grade from 1-12, for 2.5 years, I was the K-7 Online Learning Support Teacher (OLST) for my division, and now I find myself happily settling back into teaching middle years (where only the brave may tread).

Hey Kim!
Wow! That was incredible! Well done! Some highlights for me from your slam poetry:
– your question about how “unbiased is my voice?”
– “who’s to care when siri and alexa are on call?”
– “keep on reading, change your knowing”
– FINALLY, my favorite line – “If not everyone has a role in the chorus, how complete is the song?”
Amazing job! You are so brave and creative! Always keep pushing!
Aw thanks Nicole, I appreciate that! As I’ve never tried my hand at slam poetry before but always admired it….I don’t know what comes over me sometimes. Hahaha! Have always enjoyed listening to your perspective in class. Best wishes on your next learning adventures.
Kim, you have marveled me with your creativity throughout the entire course, and your summary of learning did not disappoint! Great job! I enjoyed hearing your perspectives and your takeaways from the course. I hope you have a great summer and it was a pleasure to learn alongside of you!
Wow high praise! Thanks Britney. I’ve enjoyed your perspective in class as well. Have an awesome, well deserved summer!
