Hello, and welcome to EDCI 336. I am looking forward to our time together this fall and I hope you will come out of this course with tools and concepts that will support your learning both professionally and personally.
As an EdTech program graduate, I am interested in using technology to increase connections within the classroom community and as a collaborative tool for educators and students. I am also a practicing educator with School District 61 (Greater Victoria). Currently, I am teaching Grade 7/8 and have spent the past 9 years teaching in both middle and elementary schools in SD61.
My current interests involve assessment practices, accessibility, and mental health literacy for educators and students. I am also learning how to garden through trial and error, and loving (most of) this process.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime. My full contact information is on the syllabus, but these can get you started:
