So, here I am. It’s 5 in the morning and I’ve already been awake for quite some time. This seems to be an ongoing theme with me, a lack in sleep is something I’m getting used to. It sucks, to be honest. I’m always tired, and, as evident at last night’s class, gitty at times. [...]

This is the final tech task for me, and I nearly forgot to do it.  Yikes. After all of this talk about technology I’ve become more excited about thinking about what my future classroom is going to look like.  Since I’m a business education major, a lot of our course content involves the use of [...]

Throughout the ECMP 355 course there have been many opportunities for social learning to take place.  I have, when possible, assisted fellow classmates with questions they have had regarding various issues we talked about in class.  Since I’m a Business Education student, we were all required to blog about our experiences during our pre-internship placement; [...]

At the beginning of ECMP 355, Dean hooked us up with mentors from throughout the world.  We had the opportunity to work with these mentors and their classes.  What a great learning experience!  Unfortunately I found myself too bogged down with work, homework, and just life in general to actually give it my best effort.  [...]

Marsha and I met a couple of times at the University to work on our final project.  Beforehand, we brainstormed some ideas about what we wanted to create, and Marsha threw out the idea of using google earth/maps to portray the journey her great-grandma and her family experienced on their way from Oklahoma to Saskatchewan [...]

Last year I took an Educational Foundations course called Multicultural Education.  We discussed many issues in regards to racism and other social justice issues.  It really was a fantastic course and I definitely learned a lot about how to incorporate differences into a classroom and eliminate racism from the minds of students.  I’ve since come [...]

This past Friday I went home to North Battleford to surprise my mom at her retirement party.  Yes, after 36 years of working at various capacities for the municipal/provincial government at the age of 53 years, my mom decided to retire.  My dad threw her quite a party Friday night and I thought I should [...]

This is Winston. The other day he decided to attempt crawling across the carpet is this very position.  When he realized he wasn’t getting very far, he gave up.  And didn’t move for quite some time. Apparently he was comfortable.

So I’ve googled myself. Apparently there’s a lawyer with the same name as me who lives somewhere in the States.  He’s mentioned on a lot of websites. I show up on a few of the top 20 sites from the Google Search though, particularly my Facebook profile, Diigo bookmarks and ECMP 355 wetpaint page.  My [...]

Before our ECMP class on podcasts, I hadn’t really paid much attention to them.  I didn’t know a whole lot about podcasts and therefore just ignored them for the most part.  Now I think they may be some of the coolest things online. I am a fan of CBC radio and the music that CBC [...]
