Summary of Learning
To summarize all that I have learned throughout my EDTC 300 experience I have compiled it into this YouTube Video. Hope you enjoy!
How Have I Contributed to the Learning of Others?
I have contributed to the learning of others through our weekly zooms and in breakout rooms, through comments on blog posts, resource sharing in the course community and in-person interactions. In this post, I will share the most significant of these and how it contributed to the learning of others. As future educators it is…
Wrapping up my Whittling!
As this semester comes to a close it is time that I wrap up my Learning Project that I have been working on for the past few months. If you are not aware I was learning how to whittle/carve. I ordered a small carving kit of BeaverCraft tools and wood blocks to get my journey…
Stick to Sculpture – Wooden Tiki
This week’s Learning project post is a pretty cool one I think. For this weeks carve I decided to use my sharpened knives to create this wooden tiki. To do this I used a stick I had in my backyard. I have had it inside and out of snow for a little while now and…
AI in School
I am already involved so much in schools through sports teams so I am surrounded with many current teachers that I can go to to ask any questions I have.

In class, we discussed many different topics like cyber-shaming, cyber-vigilantism, digital footprints, and digital rights. All of these are great topics to ignite thoughts and discussions about different values and actions that we as members of the digital community can take. Some people have a digital footprint before they are even born. Say a mother…
Digital Citizenship and the 9 Elements

Since I am a secondary education student I thought it best to really think about teaching it to grades nine through twelve. It is obvious by now that technology and cell phones are not…
The Participation of all of us in the Mediascape
The world is changing, if it hasn’t already. We all know that technology and our ability to be connected 24/7 has and will change how we interact in our daily lives, but what does that mean for the classroom? What do we, as teachers or future teachers, need to do to change with it? Teachers…
