This is Goodbye… (but not really because everything stays on the internet forever…)

Posted on July 22, 2024July 22, 2024by Savannah Pinfold

Below is my summary of learning! What a ride this course has been. I wanted to give a shout-out to literally everyone because the debates were fantastic and we all crushed this super-fast course. If you are interested in the links to any of the sources that have helped me over this semester and that […]

Equitable Technology – Futuristic Colonialism?

Posted on July 21, 2024July 22, 2024by Savannah Pinfold

Technology has the opportunity to reach far and wide and connect us in ways that we have never been connected before – but is technology always leading to equity?

Tech in the Classroom… Enhances (?) Learning

Posted on July 15, 2024July 22, 2024by Savannah Pinfold

I remember when we first got SMARTboards in the classroom. It was grade 6 or 7, and it was the biggest deal ever (I still feel that way) for our class. I remember fighting to be the person to recalibrate or to write with the pens and it was a blessed day if you were […]

A Day in the “Life”?

Posted on July 10, 2024July 22, 2024by Savannah Pinfold

It is not often that I go a day without using technology. Born into the Age of Information, I remember sitting at the family desktop (which was in the dining room of all places) and having to race to the kitchen during commercials. Now, I pay extra to ensure I don’t get commercial breaks and […]
