Hello to all members of ETEC 523. I am a bit late in starting so will endeavour to move right along. WHY this course My healthcare background as Nurse Clinician and Liaison for Nunavik ( Northern Quebec) brings unique challenges and wonderful learning experiences. I work exclusively with the Inuit in Nunavik and as such am privileged to enjoy an in-depth view of Inuit life and culture. One of my recent projects was a combination of McGill U. and the Douglas Mental Health Institute where our research on Inuit Resilience and Empowerment was published by Springer earlier this year. Part of the ongoing strategy is use of VR in mental health and is still being developed. alongside other interventions. My experience with VR in this context also reinforces my understanding and learning of the inherent VR power and impact upon the brain and neurological effects depending of course, on the design of the VR program. The ultimate goal of these studies is a development of a tool which can address Inuit Suicide in the north, particularly among young Inuit and how communities are deeply impacted. BIO I have a B.ScN , M.Sc Strategic HR Development and Training ( UK, London) and more recently graduated with a M.Ed ALGC. Our family"s global experience has nurtured and supported my M.Ed studies as did the context of the program. We have lived and worked in France, Sweden, Singapore ( plus travel in SE Asia, Australia and 3 +years in West Africa with shorter bursts in NY, South America ( Columbia and Brazil). I think that VR and Educational technology crosses all of these borders in a seamless way but can leave large footprints. So cognisance of this fact is a benchmark in the design and use of VR or any Ed.Tech. method. Personal Love travel, ( yep) language learning, cooking and sharing recipes, My daughter and her friend run a blog from Stockholm Sweden called Krydhyllor ( Spice rack) which shares stories and recipes from friends and colleagues worldwide who presently live, study and work in Stockholm , Music, classical guitar and art are other favourites as is walking in the forests in Northern Sweden where we have a old family wooden home which is constantly in need of TLC. I look forward to learning and sharing with all of you Best Wishes, Joy
