Looking at the requirements for this weekly assigned blog post I will admit that I was not looking forward to it. I will admit that the thought of doing code is intimidating. After all, I have taken CS 110 as part of my Bachelor of Science degree. Lets just say, I passed. Based on that, […]
Using two of the readings from this week, Ribble’s Nine Elements of Digital Citizenship and Digital Citizenship Education in Saskatchewan Schools – Policy Planning Guide, made me consider a couple of things I have noticed while doing my field work. My placement in a Grade 5/6 split classroom means that many of the students have […]
Prior to coming into this class, I did have a personal Twitter account set up. I scrolled through the feed to have a look at how I use it. I had to ask myself, Did I “tweet”? Did I reply or like other posts? Did I use hashtags? Were hashtags even a thing when I […]
Closing in on the completion on the bed frame I made. Todays task was to cut the plywood for the top of the frame. This will provide a flat surface for the mattress to lay on and provide extra structural support for the frame. The shape of the van made for challenges as the front […]
Another slow week working on my project. Sometimes life gets busy. I did manage to get into Lowes this week and get the Plywood, that will sit on top of the frame. Because I need alot of space to cut a sheet of plywood I have to do it outside. But the days are getting […]
Another week goes by and I get closer to seeing the finished product. This week, I started cutting the 2×4’s to fit in the 2×10’s for bracing it together. These measurements weren’t all the same as the back of the van is narrower than the front. At the back the measurement was 61″, as I […]
Today I cut the wood for my project for my bed project for my sisters van. I used the table saw to cut the 2X10’s. Please forgive me for no guard on the table saw. It’s my dad’s and as a gen x hes’s not very safety conscious. The 2X10’s were cut in 52″ length […]
Although I’m not that old, and have only been out of high school for just under 10 years, technology was not really a part of my classroom. Assignments were mostly turned in the old fashioned way… pen and paper (my type of technology). Therefore I never had to consider cyber security except for a passcode […]
Sorry to ruin your read this week for my learning post, as I have been crazy busy. I was away for the weekend visiting family for Thanksgiving and keeping up with my studies. That being said, even though I didn’t get any physical “hands on” work completed I did manage to make some minor tweaks […]
This week, there was only small progress made on the van bed. With leaves starting to fall and the weather getting cooler, a lot of the weekend was spent cleaning up the yard and bringing the boat, seadoos and dock out of the water. It may have been sunny but the water wasn’t warm! Since […]
