Hello all,
I’m pleased to recognize some learning colleagues from previous courses and also glad to make new acquaintances. ETEC 522 is my 6th course and I am excited to embark on this new learning venture! For those of you who don’t know me yet, I live in Gananoque on a horse ranch and work in Ottawa as a French as a second language teacher for the National Defence.
I love to teach and I am a perpetual learner. I think this course is going to be fascinating, however, after perusing the course objectives I realized that the assignments will be a challenge as most of the proposed content is new to me. This Blog format for the course is also new and exciting; although I have a few blogs going, I can’t say I have explored this asynchronous mode of communication very much. I’m sure this course will allow me to explore the various opportunities it has to offer.
I look forward to working with all of you – particularly in small groups.
Cheers!
Marie-France

Hi Marie-France, it’s nice to ‘see’ you again. I’m also excited (that is, anxiously eager!) about the blog format. It should be very really interesting to learn this way!

Hi Marie-France,
I look forward to this opportunity to work with you prior to moving on to ETEC590 and ending the formal portion of my MET journey. This course looks like it will be a great adventure with its different format and content.

Hi Claire,
Nice to be taking this course with you . . . are you also taking ETEC 590 this term? You are so close to the end of the program – it must feel great! What do you plan to do after you finish the program?

Hi Marie France,
In addition to this course I’m taking LLED565, a drama, literacy, and diverse learning summer institute. There’s an online session on June 9 and then one week on campus from July 3-7. In September I’ll start 590. I have mixed feelings about being done as I’ve learned so much and will miss the stimulating, thought provoking discussion and the assignments that have led to me creating valuable resources. At the same time my tech/teaching tool kit is bulging and I’m anxious to have more time to apply what I’ve learned. I’ll be keeping myself busy with managing the community arts centre which opens in September and am also considering marketing the visual arts courses I’ve written. I’m also going to do a bit of f2f teaching both at the arts centre and at my school.
