This is only my second MET course so I am still feeling my way along and do not know exactly what to expect. I am a senior science and math teacher in a small high school on Haida Gwaii. I have been teaching here for 13 years now and have seen the grade 8-12 school go from 194 students down to the current 94. The student body is comprised 80-90% First Nations, predominantly of Haida decent. Generational poverty, parents from the residential school system, and low expectations are all issues that can be seen in the school.

As the student numbers continue to decrease, the school has been using the BCLN Moodle courses as a method to continue providing a wide variety of courses. I am looking forward to learning how these courses are built. After working with students through different courses I have found there are features some courses that I really like and others that I do not. I am hoping that I will be able to take the features that I like from certain courses and modify aspects of courses that I do not like. It will also be great to know how to go in and fix errors, typos and any other mistakes that are found.
