Hello! My name is Lily Jacobs and this is my first blog post. I am a secondary education student majoring in math and minoring in science. I grew up in Moose Jaw with my family and I realized I wanted to pursue education while I was in grade 12. My goal as a future educator is to represent students who cannot speak up for themselves. I aspire to be an educator that can be an outlet for students who are struggling. Eventually, I would like to pursue inclusive education.
I do not have much experience in educational technology other than being a student. In this day and age, almost all assignments, assessments, (etc.) are online. Even the majority of my studying is done online, I usually use Quizlet or Knowt to create flashcards. Then both apps can create matching games or a practice test for me to study. As an educator, I have no experience in educational technology, although I am excited to learn because technology will undoubtedly be the main tool for education in the future. I hope to use my experience as a student to aid future students.
This is the matching game on Knowt that I used for my Chem class to study.
I do not have much experience in blogging, I am a little hesitant as I do not post on social media very often. Although, I do have some experience in e-portfolios as I made this website in my education class last semester. I am excited to further my knowledge of educational technology and blogging.
Hi Lily! My goal as an educator is also to represent and fight for the students whose voices are not often heard in educational settings. I just started my Inclusive Education Certificate, and I am happy that I am getting more of the knowledge that I will need to help some of those underrepresented students. I am also a social media scroller instead of a poster, so I am trying to get more comfortable with doing it as well.
