I have mainly taught at the elementary level, but currently looking into teaching higher grades. I have taken the following ETEC courses, 500, 565A, 512, 511, 531, 565M. This semester I am simultaneously taking ETEC 533, 510 and 580 (self-directed project).

I am also involved in a School Division Community of Practice on STEAM, which explores different technological integration. I have noticed some familiar names\/faces in the introductions and looking forward to working with everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello other ETEC 533ers, My apologies for the late entry, as I was en route\u00a0coming back from holidays in BC yesterday.
