Hi, and welcome to my first-ever blog!

Author in the mountains

My name is Kyle Tatton, and I am a second-year student at the University of Regina taking my Bachelor of Education After Degree. Before deciding to become a teacher, I was in pursuit of another passion, sports therapy! I graduated from the University of Alberta in 2022 with a degree in Kinesiology. While taking this degree is had the opportunity to be the trainer of the men’s basketball team, which was an incredible experience.

Something else that has helped define my character is music! I have very fond memories of going over to my grandparent’s house, popping in a CD, playing air guitar, and performing in front of my family. This love for putting on a show has no doubt contributed to my comfort standing in front of a classroom.

This past fall I completed my internship in a Grade 6/7 classroom in my hometown of North Battleford, Saskatchewan. I leaned on both of these passions throughout this experience as I coached both Cross Country Running and Volleyball, as well as assisting with the school Christmas Concert.

Reflecting on my internship experience I realized that I wanted to improve my understanding on computer and media technology. As I was in University during the COVID pandemic, I have an understanding of programs like zoom and online quizzes, however this is from a student perspective, so I think it would be super helpful to learn how to use these tools as a future teacher.

Thanks for visiting my page! Wish me luck on this journey!
