A Path to Understanding: Métis Beading
When Dr. Hildebrand first mentioned this course involved a project where we could choose to learn to do almost anything, Métis beading was one of the first ideas that came to mind. After taking my first Indigenous Studies class, I was inspired to learn more about our First Nations and Métis cultures as I attempted […]

Continue readingNew Beginnings: Emma Takes on Blogging
╭────────────────────────────────»»❀❀❀««────────────────────────────────╮ Hello everyone, My name is Emma Metz, and I am a second-year education student at the University of Regina. Currently, I am in the early elementary program, with aspirations of teaching grades 1 through 3! In my free time, you can find me helping out at the family farm, reading a book at the library, hanging out at the cabin, or playing a *highly competitive* game of crib with my grandmothers. This spring, I had the opportunity to work as an instructor at Educating Youth in Engineering and Science (EYES) camp. As a STEM – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – based program, I had to quickly become familiar with various forms of technology such as Ozobots, Micro:bits, Spheros, and Bloxels. Prior to this position, the only technological experience I had was with either a phone or a laptop. Therefore, it was an extremely eye-opening experience to be able to immerse myself in a new world of technology. Although daunting, the young learners immediately fell in love with the technology-based content, and – after learning the failures and triumphs that come with troubleshooting – I quickly fell in love with it too. Going forward, I am extremely excited to document my learning in our EDTC 300 class throughout the semester. Although the process of blogging is something I am gradually warming up to, I cannot wait to learn from each other through our classroom community. In the blogging realm, I love reading online content from educational Instagram sources such as kidtalk.co, decolonizemyself, feminist, and the.holistic,psychologist. Although these resources are not explicitly considered blogs, they post daily content that is personal, engaging, and directly transferable to classroom environments. Thank you so much for reading! I cannot wait to learn with all of you this semester 😊. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── *All of the images on this page are my own* ╰────────────────────────────────»»❀❀❀««────────────────────────────────╯

Welcome everyone! Join me on my adventure as I dive into the world of learning Spanish. Back in 2016, I spent roughly 5 months travelling through South America. Within that time, I traveled to Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. I can honestly say this was the best time of my life. I was captivated by … Continue reading From Hola to Hablo

Though I have a strong singing voice, I’ve always desired to back it up by playing an instrument but the last thing on my mind was to pluck the Guitar strings. My mindset changed last year with a YouTube video … Continue reading

Continue readingAdorable! Or a Nightmare?!
One of the class assignments is to learn a new skill using educational technology and media. I took quite some time to figure out what I wanted to learn, and settled on Amirigumi Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed yarn creatures. They are adorable, and apparently good for beginners. […]
