Hello all,<\/p>\n
My name is Baljeet Gill and I currently teach at the Rick Hansen Secondary School of Science and Business in Abbotsford BC. \u00a0I am a business education teacher (marketing, entrepreneurship, economics, accounting) but have also taught both math and science classes. \u00a0I worked as an accountant, at various levels, for six years before realizing my passion of helping students realize their potential and entering the world of education – its a good story, maybe it will come up in the discussions.<\/p>\n
I am currently enrolled in my 9th and 10th course of the MET program and have enjoyed the learning communities I have been a part of through my journey. \u00a0Our school is in the process of constructing a dedicated makerspace that will be open for student use this upcoming September so I am hoping to gain some insight into both the theoretical and practical ways to utilize this space.<\/p>\n
I try to spend most of my summer riding my motorcycle and am hoping tomorrow’s forecast of sun for the next week is accurate – it has been a dreadful spring for riding thus far.<\/p>\n
I look forward to getting to know you all as our term progresses.<\/p>\n
