This blog is the culmination of my experiences in the Bachelor of Education program here at UBC. I’ve curated photos, artifacts, and past assignments to demonstrate my growth as a new teacher. The tabs are meant to be explored from left to right, starting with my autobiography (why I teach and what led me into teaching), and ending with photos of fun experiences and things during my practicum and Community Field Experience. Going through the tabs should take you on a roller coaster ride with some serious posts and some more casual ones scattered throughout. I am most proud of the “Tips for Future Student Teachers” tab and hope that future generations of B.Ed. students can benefit from the advice therein.
Here is an interesting article on how to engage students through the use of a classroom blog. I did not have a blog during my teaching practicum, but my English school advisor had her own blog where she uploaded handouts and course outlines as well as other interesting materials. I think having a class blog is a great idea because students can check for handouts that they might have missed or lost, and they can contribute to discussions beyond the classroom.

Hey how about them apples?! We’re already doing 5/6 things mentioned in this article on methods of professional development for teachers! Our e-portfolios actually might come in handy!

Interesting article on how to use quotes in the classroom! I did something similar to this when I taught Hamlet during my teaching practicum.
