The documentary “Most Likely To Succeed” ended up being a lot more engaging than I had originally anticipated. I do not mean this in an offensive way whatsoever, but I think my preconceived notion about what the documentary would be like addresses similar themes to those that were discussed. I attended a public school as...

📲 🤳 👩‍💻 📸 🍎 💻 🎞️ 🧑‍🏫 Today we discussed ideas and issues surrounding “Social Media in Education” with the guest speaker, Jesse Miller. After reflecting on our class today, I am left considering the question of “What would you tell your younger self about social media today?” My first experience with social media...

One of the main ideas I took away from Jesse Miller’s presentation was the importance of understanding how technology and social media affect our lives. As technology continues to change, it is important to think about how we use it, what we share online, and how our online actions can affect...

As is shown in the image above, my materials have arrived and I have started to make progress in creating my quilt. I would like to note that not all my materials are shown in this picture, as I also ordered polyfill stuffing for when my puffs are sewn together, as well as 3 other...

During class on October 9th, we discussed the use of technology in the classroom and the impacts that come with this. Jesse Miller was our guest speaker for this class and his presentation was very informative and engaging. We focused on the advantages and disadvantages that come with social media in the classroom. He explained...

What? In class on September 18th, we discussed the importance of keeping students personal information confidential and how we can better protect ourselves against identity theft. Today, technology is a major part of learning in the classroom, with this it is important we educate our student on privacy, misinformation and online safety. By developing students...

What? This scenery piece is now my forth piece although my first piece where I have used the entire page. The video I attached in my last post was super helpful in making smooth backgrounds and as this is mostly smooth background other then the trees, it was super applicable to my piece. In this...

What? This is my final painting for this inquiry project. As I mentioned in my last post, I wanted to challenge myself by not looking at a prior watercolour painting for inspiration, rather heading into the outdoors and creating myself. In saying this I am home for thanksgiving weekend, and I thought there was no...

What? The fall door image I worked on today was very complex and had many layers added to it. This image did not turn out the exact way I wanted it but I believe it still turned out beautifully. Although their are some piece that did not turn out exactly line the inspration I feel...

What? I choose to go back to working on my hard lines and drawing work for this french pig piece. I am very happy with the turn out of my image. After completing this piece I was thinking back to my last animal drawing of the duck and looking back to my last drawing of...

What? Today I attempted a sunset that incorporated both hard and soft lines. This added dimension to my art and continued to challenge my art process. This image similar to the last image had many layers where I had to wait for it to dry before proceeding with the next layer. Overall I feel this...

What? The street scene image I worked on today was probably my most complex art piece I have completed this far. It had many layers to it where I had to wait for parts to dry and come back and add more details later on. Overall I am very proud of this piece and although...

What? I wanted to switch my focus to potential card ideas I could make for loved ones in my life. This way I was able to take a time out from learning more skills and focus on perfecting the skills I have already learnt. This boat image was inspired from Pintrest. I thought it was...

What? This is my third art piece and I am beginning to get in the groove of working with this form of paint. I am finding that I am looking forward to creating new images. For this piece, I followed a fall inspired piece I found through Pintrest. Overall, I am pretty happy with how...

Before we dive into picking up where I left off with Spanish, there are a couple things that need to be addressed before the language learning can begin. What Type of Spanish will I be Learning? What’s the Difference between Castilian and Latin American Spanish? Other than geographical differences, Castilian and Latin American Spanish differ...

My First Impressions: When I first walked into the Pacific School of Innovation and Inquiry last Friday, it did not feel like the traditional school I was used to. It is located downtown Victoria among other stores, cafes, and is inside a brick building. I got lost many times while walking around the school as...

Photo below by: https://www.youcanchangeeducation.org/high-tech-high.html What I Learned: After I watched the documentary “Most Likely to Succeed,” one of the main ideas that stuck with me was that there can be a difference between what schools traditionally teach and what students actually need to learn for their future. I find that schools often focus on tests,...

In my EDCI 336: Technology and Innovation in Education class, one of our major assignments is creating a Free Inquiry project to build and interact with throughout the semester. I will be using this blog to document my process and learnings along the way. I feel that having outlets and activites to turn to when...

For my first reflection, I am going to write about our field trip to the Pacific School of Innovation and Inquiry. I did not anticipate how much my interest would be piqued by the ways in which the school operates and educates their students, as I was confident in my beliefs regarding the success of...

Hello friends!  For my free inquiry project I am going to explore the benefits of various types of yoga and meditation practices in hopes of creating beneficial habits for my future, possibly ones I can implement in my classroom as a future educator! I have no background in yoga or meditation, so why not try...

This week, I crocheted 2 pumpkins, since fall is my favourite season and I wanted to make something simple and fun. I was also feeling off about my crocheting skills after I kept messing up last week, so I wanted to make an easy pattern as a mental reset. I treated these pumpkins like a...

Summer is over, and fall is upon us. I will now be spending less time out on the water boating and more time embracing the fall season with friends; therefore, my inquiry is, “What are some ways I can incorporate pumpkin into my fall baking?” I chose this because I love baking, especially in the...

The second hairstyle I chose was a ponytail with two braids. It was a fairly simple hairstyle, taking two front sections of hair before putting the rest up into a ponytail. Then I did a simple three strand braid for both sections (one at a time) until it reached the elastic holding my ponytail. To...

Getting to visit the Pacific School of Innovation & Inquiry today was an interesting learning experience. The school itself seemed like a hole in the wall, I nearly missed the entrance when trying to find our class. Walking around inside, there were so many large windows and areas that were covered without walls. It seemed...

Throughout this past week, I have been documenting my process creating my first sourdough starter. Before I began, I did some research online and watched many TikTok videos to help break down the process step by step. I have linked below the TikTok video that I referred to which has been a very helpful resource. ...
