Blog Post #1

Hello everyone! My name is Madison Massey, and I am currently in my fourth year at the University of Regina. A little about myself is that I have a cat named Luna, who is about three years old now. She is my little best friend! Another fact about myself is I enjoy online shopping!

My experiences with educational technology are minimal, and I am not the greatest with technology by any means! I have always been one to use social media, but my blogging experiences are also very minimal, besides the odd class throughout my four years that has requested me to blog. I feel like even though I don’t blog often, it is a very helpful and engaging task that can be done at any moment, and you can blog about anything. I enjoy when my professors assign this as a task throughout the semester because it helps me stay focused and engaged with what we are doing and learning throughout the semester. I took EDTC 300 because I felt it was important for me as a future educator to learn about the importance of technology within the classroom, and hopefully gain a few more skills for my own needs. Overall, I am super excited to see what this course is all about and begin my learning project!

Below is a photo of my cat!

I also wanted to add a link that I have recently been using at my workplace, which is an online educational resource for teachers, parents, daycare workers, etc. Everyone should check it out, I have found that kids of all ages enjoy read-aloud and this website has great read-aloud books!

Vooks – Storybooks brought to life with beautiful animation!
