Hello from TO
Hello, my name is Scott Tammik.
I am a member of the Ontario College of Teachers and presently teaching on contract in the communications technology and visual arts departments at Bayview Secondary School, in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada.
My education and professional background includes undergraduate degrees in psychology, image arts and education. Prior to teaching, I worked as a commercial photographer for many years in Toronto.
This is my fourth course in the MET program and I am keenly interested in the intersection of education, art and technology. Having worked now for six years in the public education system, I am excited to learn more about how I might be able to combine my past experience in media production and my knowledge of education, to help develop new approaches to teaching and learning in our digital age.
You are welcome to contact me anytime via email at scott UNDERSCORE tammik AT mac DOT com
Best wishes to everyone for a productive and enjoyable term.
Scott.

Welcome Scott. Like you I am teaching Communication and visual Arts (or Media Studies). I was a member of the OTC briefly…I had to pay to join them so they would send a letter to my current province stating I was a member in good standing. 🙂 I went to Queen’s instead of UNB. You have an advantage in your teaching though as you have the practical knowledge and experience. I am sure I can learn a lot from you. Have a great term.

Thanks Lisa, its great to see a familiar name again! August was relaxing, but zipped by a bit too quickly and after being back teaching for only a week, it seems too distant already 😐
Regardless, I’m ready to dive into this course and it seems we will be working together for project 2. See you online soon.

Hi Scott,
You have an interesting background, I will be interested to hear how your previous experiences bring perspective to our course work in ETEC 522
