I can’t be the only person who was obsessed with Microsoft Encarta’s Mindmaze game. I had always yearned for a set of Encyclopedias… but when that free disc comes with your computer, I shortly stopped asking for them.

Media Ecology
Media ecology is the study of how media and technology function as environments that shape human perception, communication, and understanding. It looks not just at content, but at the structures and systems we build and are surrounded by, from language to smartphones, and how they shape what we can think, say, and do. Like anContinue reading “Media Ecology”
AI Essentials for Educators
Okay, so my video is a bit longer than 5 minutes, but I swear there’s a reason! My video tour is presented as a mock news segment with Artie Smarts, an animated robot newscaster. I went with this format to keep things conversational and fun while still walking through the project in detail, drawing onContinue reading “AI Essentials for Educators”
Learning Environment Analysis
The Learning Environment evaluation rubric was an interesting assignment for me, as I joined a group focused on post-secondary education, despite all of my teaching experience being at the middle and high school levels. Specifically choosing Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) as our organization provided an excellent opportunity to explore how technology could be leveragedContinue reading “Learning Environment Analysis”

Here’s a link to my assignment this week. I wanted to embed it directly into my blog, but some features weren’t working that way, and you deserve the full experience. You’ll find my references embedded in my presentation.
Learning Theories
It’s been awhile! Since finishing up my T-L post-bacc through UBC I’ve started up on my Master’s Degree, also through UBC in their Educational Technology (MET) Program. And I spent so much time putting this Learning Theory Concept Map together that it should get to see someone else’s eyes other than my instructor’s.
Evolving Practice
Teacher-Librarians are not just student educators – they also help lead their peers to growth and development in their own practice. But just like student learning, this can be a sensitive task. Our students come to us with a wide range of background knowledge, experiences, interests, and skillsets, and so do all teachers. We know thatContinue reading “Evolving Practice”
Every Learner, Their Resources
Lesson 5, which focused on the reference interview, really stood out for me in Theme 2 and left me with lots to ponder. A reference interview is a conversation between a student and a librarian that helps determine what a student’s information needs are, and how to help students find resources that will meet their needsContinue reading “Every Learner, Their Resources”
