The Great Unknown


The final day of classes before pre-service teaching!! This last month has gone by super fast. Although I don’t necessarily feel ready for the classroom, I know that once I’m there, things will feel a lot better. The unknown can be really intimidating sometimes.

As far as using technology in my placement, I’m not sure how much I will actually use. I have been to visit my co-operating teacher and have seen the layout of the classroom. There is a smart board but after talking to the teacher, it is evident that she rarely uses technology in any of her classes. Maybe I’ll be able to bring something to the class that they have never done before. Either way, I’m excited to get out there and do my thing!

Playing with Pictures

    This week in ICT, we’ve been working with photo editing and experimenting with different tools. Here’s a list of some them so feel free to check them and do some playing of your own!


I can see how these can be excellent tools for the classroom. When kids come back to school in September, they can share about their summers in a unique way using a program like Animoto.

Check out some of my class work. I used Animoto to tell the picture story of my family.
