My name is Rebecca Skucas and this is my e-Portfolio for ETEC565A. I am currently enrolled in the Master of Education Technology program at UBC and this is course number seven. As part of assignment#4 I will be posting my reflections and observations of my experiences with the course activities here.

Education and Job

I started my MET journey in 2013 after teaching for a few years and having the desire to develop my personal learning network and knowledge of different technologies for teaching. I also wanted to connect with other educational professionals to learn their practices to aid in my own personal development. I currently work in Vancouver as a grade 6/7 teacher. I have a science and education degree and have been teaching for the past 8 years. I enjoy incorporating different technology tools into my teaching practice as I find it helps teachers connect their students by bringing the learning to them and also allowing students to reach out to the world around them. In the schools that I have worked at, iPads carts are readily available and are what I have used predominately in my teaching. I have used iPads to explore different apps to help develop a wide base for presentation styles through apps such as Explain Everything, Prezi, Keynote, and iMovie. I have started to incorporate some aspects of Google classroom into my teaching as well and would love to expand in this area. I look forward to challenging myself and learning from everyone else has to offer.
