Coming into this course I really didn’t know what I would be learning and how useful any of it would be. Despite my lack of accountability for submitting reflections in a timely manner, I learned so much in this class. From the start of the course we learn about safety online, specifically when it comes…
This week we had a guest lecture from Kara Dawson who talked about Minecraft education and her successes using it. We also got to look at scratch, a fun intro to coding. These were two things I’d heard of but never seen much of, so it was great to learn more about them! For minecraft…
Well over the last three and a half months I think my progress in climbing and badminton feels pretty good. Nothing insanely good, but I also know I have made good progress. I feel like a lot of my progress in both sports were more done by just playing/doing the sport, as I needed to…
Climbing body positioning Climbing or specifically bouldering, has so much more to do with positioning than I’d really realised before the last few months. The last time I climbed this regularly I was probably about 30-40 pounds lighter so I was able to just muscle through a climb much easier than I can now. Now…

I played a good amount of badminton the week before the badminton tournament. Maybe too much as I used it to procrastinate doing some of my work that I should have been doing. I played primarily with some random people at CARSA, a few of which were really good and helped me work on the…
For week 8, we had a short group presentation to give an overview of our POD assignments. For my group we chose to focus on the impact of social media on transgender students. We felt that this isn’t something that is talked about enough and is very important due to recent events in Tumbler Ridge….
At the start of the semester I found out about badminton drop in at CARSA and began looking for people to play with. I managed to gather up a group of classmates, usually there are four to 8 of us depending on who is available. By fluke I had asked Payten who turned out to…
For week 6 we had to choose two online seminars to watch. The second seminar I watched was Live IT! Bilingual Place-based Learning K-7. The Live It earth website is such a cool resource for teachers to use with their students. It has a ton of videos on places, animals and plants from all over…
