My facebook account has been deactivated….by me….voluntarily. I found I was being way too unproductive by reading statuses of “friends” and updates of groups that I really didn’t care all that much about.  I think it’ll be good for me in the long term, but will be hard to not ‘login’ again – because that’s [...]

Yes, that’s right ladies and gentleman.  I’m back from  a state of oblivion of sorts and will be (at least, hope to be) back for the majority of the future. Since we’ve last chatted, many things have happened in my life.  I’ve successfully completed my Bachelor of Education degree, worked as a substitute for almost [...]

Hey everyone, and thanks for continuing to read my blog, learning about my internship experiences. Four weeks have passed since the start of internship (or there abouts) and things are going really, really well.  It is proving to be a completely rewarding and positive experience, I have zero complaints.  The following sentence goes without saying:  [...]

Hey everyone, and sorry that I haven’t updated in a long while.  I’m doing my noon-hour supervision duties in the computer lab right now, which allows me time to get some blogging done. Internship started a few weeks ago, and by now we’re well into the full swing of things in terms of units, assignments, [...]

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 [...]
