A useful metaphor…
July 17, 29013

I have come up with a metaphor for mapping out and reflecting on my growth as a student and teacher. I’ll describe it more when I am ready to launch it. Enough to say that at this point I have a lot of reorganizing to do. If you are following my posts, stay tuned and thanks for your patience over the next few weeks.

 

More Course Work
June 30, 2013

I have updated the page for ETEC 512: adding my posts for the first three modules and posting a couple of assignments. The course goes well. I find the work on Vygotsky fascinating. I am reading more about his take on disabilities and on play and creativity.

I still have some clean-up and organizing to do so information is presented clearly with less repetition while still showing my growth and learning. I am beginning to use my photographs on the timeline and blog posts. I am still interested in constructing a personal image for each course and thought a one line summary statement about my learning in each course might help the process of reflection. These could be posted to the timeline as well. Lots to think about….

 

Thinking About Organizing
June 23, 2013

I am starting to think more about how my blog is organized and how I’ll eventually want to restructure it to reflect my development and learning. I’m considering a timeline with multiple strands with a check in or a state of the union type statement summarizing all the strands every few months. I’d also like to incorporate my interest in photography; I wonder about taking a photo to represent each MET course and displaying it with the timeline. I am experimenting with Tiki-Toki which is a online platform for just this kind of project.

 

 

More Personalization
October 28, 2012

I have updated the header for my blog to choose random photographs. All of the photos are mine. You can see the unedited version of each photo by following the links on the Photographs page. Enjoy!

 

Getting Braver
October 8, 2012

I am working to make this space more personal while keeping it professional. I thought I’d start by using my own images. Photography is a developing hobby so I’ll take and use my own images when I need them. I started with the new banner: a fall spider’s web at Butchart Gardens.

 

The Next Step
October 4, 2012

Well I have been playing around with my blog and I like the format. Easy to post and organize information. Now that the site is running, I have changed my format for posting information about ETEC 511. I have done things historically for the first four modules but module five represents a change. I’ll see how it goes.

 

My First Post
October 3, 2012

I set up my ePortfolio today. This is my first post as I orient myself to this format.
