Hello!

My name is Megan and I have been an educator in Regina for six years. I teach a grade 1/2 split and love this age of learners. My favourite part of teaching my students is seeing their journey in learning to read. Teaching literacy is what I like best. As a learner, I am currently completing my Inclusive Ed. Certificate with the University of Regina and will be done after this semester.

In terms of educational technology, I would say that I am more of a beginner than someone who is highly comfortable. I can play around and try to problem solve on a computer but I would not consider myself a “techy” person. In the classroom technology I use is my computer, a data projector, document camera, and iPads. It can be difficult to integrate technology into my classroom when there is one teacher, 28+ students and only 6 iPads. I am sure if I had more PD on the apps and things we can do with the iPads I would have a clearer idea of how to use them with my grade one and two students. As of now, my classroom uses a few reading apps such as RazKids and Epic! that I am comfortable using and have taught my students how to use properly. In the past we have used Seesaw to create student learning portfolios and add assignments during online learning time throughout the pandemic. We no longer use this site.

As for blogging, I don’t think I have blogged since I was in Katia’s class in 2015ish. So forgive me as I am new to this and will be figuring out how to use this program to update you on my journey with technology as well as my learning project throughout the semester.
