Happy New Year, everyone!<\/p>\n
Apologies for being unable to post Wednesday, as directed, unfortunately 533 wasn’t shown for my Canvas dashboard then.<\/p>\n
I live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.\u00a0 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<\/p>\n
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<\/em> these things in my own teaching contexts.<\/p>\n Fun Facts:\u00a0 (1) My full name is Jan, not short for anything, just Jan (many don’t believe until seeing my birth certificate!).\u00a0 (2) I was born in BC,\u00a0 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.\u00a0 (3) One of my great-great-relatives on my mother’s side was Louis Riel’s page boy.<\/p>\n 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.\u00a0 Looking forward to learning with you all this semester!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy New Year, everyone!
