Happy New Year, everyone!
Apologies for being unable to post Wednesday, as directed, unfortunately 533 wasn’t shown for my Canvas dashboard then.
I live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Although this is my 8th MET course (I’ve taken the four cores as well as 532, 530 & 531 thus far), this is the very first course that’s used Canvas instead of Blackboard, so I feel like a newbie LOL
In this course I hope to learn some practical things that I can share with the teachers in my elementary school who teach Math (I teach K-8 Library/Tech and 1-3 Media Literacy & Performing Arts). Although I’ve loved the courses so far, I’ve found it a bit of challenge to actually apply these things in my own teaching contexts.
Fun Facts: (1) My full name is Jan, not short for anything, just Jan (many don’t believe until seeing my birth certificate!). (2) I was born in BC, grew up in the Okanagan Valley and moved to Windsor in 1995 when the second-last Hiram Walker’s plant in Winfield closed, relocating only around six of its 300-ish employees, of whom my father was one. (3) One of my great-great-relatives on my mother’s side was Louis Riel’s page boy.
I enjoy spending time with my husband and two amazing children, playing games of all sorts, reading, jogging, cooking (hence the need for jogging) ;P and pursuing/encouraging others in matters of truth, identity, and purpose in Life. Looking forward to learning with you all this semester!
Nice to meet you, Jan. Love your note about seeking and encouraging others in seeking truth, identity and purpose. The true meaning of education 🙂
Hi Jan.
Nice to see you again. This is also my 8th MET course, and my first Canvas one. Already had some frustrations acclimatizing and getting into the blog, but hopefully this works out for both of us. I enjoyed collaborating with you before, and look forward to doing so again.
