Welcome to EDCI 336!

My name is Allie Kostiuk and I am a sessional instructor for the University of Victoria in the East Kootenay Teacher Education Program (EKTEP) located in Cranbrook. I have been with the program since 2020 and teach both EDCI 336: Technology and Innovation in Education, as well as EDCI 402: Reading Instructional Principles & Strategies. I am also a Field Advisor for EKTEP for the 3-week co-teaching practicum (Year 2), the 6-week practicum (Year 3), and the 10-week final practicum (Year 4).

I have a Master’s degree in Educational Technology from the University of British Columbia (2017) and a Bachelor’s degree in Education from the University of Victoria (2011). I have taught in both School District #5: Southeast Kootenay and School District #6: Rocky Mountain in grades 2 and 3, K-5 music, and grades 1 and 3 technology. I now have two young children at home and enjoy spending my time with them!

Educational technology interests include digital portfolios, coding with kids, video creation and editing, website design and supporting environmental education with technology. I am a strong advocate for using technology in the classroom as a tool to enhance learning!
