Hello Folks,
My name is Stephen Hawkins – no not THE Stephen Hawking, but a wise old owl nonetheless! I live and teach in a small rural First Nations community called Dog Creek which is in the Caribou region of British Columbia. Dog Creek is located in a beautiful geographical area of BC on the east side of the Fraser River, and is home to some of BC’s youngest basaltic volcanic formations. Some of you may be aware of Gang Ranch which is very close to Dog Creek. The people here are mostly from the Shuswap (Secwepemc) nation, and belong to the Canoe Creek First Nations Band. There are approximately 140 people living in this community and the closest major centre is William’s Lake, BC which is about a 1hr, 15min drive (mostly gravel).
This is my second year of teaching and my current assignment includes math and science for grades 4-10, and all other required courses for the grade 8-10 class with the exception of English and socials. I live right behind the school in a teacherage and have the advantage of being able to get to work in less than 5 minutes! I have no children, but between my dog, cats, teaching, running, and the MET program, I find my life quite busy and full.
I have taken ETEC 511 and 521, and am currently enrolled in this course and ETEC 500. My educational background includes a B.Sc. in Biology and a B.Ed. in secondary education. From this course I am hoping to glean a lot of valuable digital tools to support my instruction in science and math.
I am looking forward to working with you all!
Stephen Hawkins
