I feel fortunate that technology was not as advanced when I was a child. I received my first phone when I was 12 and created a Facebook profile at 16. Fortunately, I have never personally experienced cyberbullying and never considered it a serious issue until recently.

While volunteering as a crisis responder for Kids Help Phone, I helped kids and adults cope with stress and anxiety. Many of them confided in me about their experiences with cyberbullying. This made me reflect on how we can protect ourselves and others from such harm.

I know that cyberbullying is against the law in Canada, but I'm curious about how seriously these offenses are taken and what the legal consequences are.

I use technology to help me stay organized, learn new things, and talk to people. For example, I use apps to keep track of what I need to do and video calls to talk to others when I can’t meet in person. I also try to learn about new tools to make my work easier.

I try to be a good example by using technology in a smart way. I make sure it helps me instead of distracting me. I also set limits on how much time I spend on screens and use tools that everyone can access. I hope this shows others how to use technology in a healthy and helpful way.

This week, I learned about universal design, which means making things that everyone can use, no matter who they are. As a teacher or a helper, I can use this by creating lessons and tools that work for all kinds of people. For example, I can use captions on videos for people who can’t hear, or make sure papers can be read by screen readers for people who can’t see. I can also teach in different ways so everyone has a chance to learn.

I want to keep using these ideas to make sure no one feels left out. It’s important to create spaces where everyone feels welcome and can succeed.

I use my phone every day. It helps me talk to people, remember important things, and find answers when I’m curious. I also use my laptop for work and learning. These tools make my life easier and help me get things done.

If I were teaching, I’d want a big screen or projector. It’s great for showing videos or pictures to everyone. It helps make lessons fun and easy to understand. I’d also want computers or tablets. Kids can use them to play learning games, look things up, and work at their own speed.

Technology helps make learning exciting and fair for everyone. I’d use it to make school fun for my students!

As part of a group project, I had the opportunity to organize the Cold Lake Suicide Awareness Walk. It is an event focused on raising awareness about mental health and offering support to those affected by suicide. Our efforts were recognized in the media, and we were featured in an article by Lakeland Today.

For one of my assignments, I used Powtoon to create a short video on how to make a meme. This was by far my favorite web tool used in class because it allowed me to be creative, visually engaging, and interactive.

Why I Loved Powtoon:
✅ Easy-to-use animation and design tools
✅ Made learning fun and engaging
✅ Helped me present information in a visually appealing way

🎥 Watch my video above. I hope you like it!

I’ve been thinking about how online learning is changing education. Online learning gives people more control over their education, allowing them to study when and where it’s best for them. This is especially helpful for those who have busy lives or live far from schools. Another thing I’ve noticed is that online learning teaches people how to use technology. Since technology is so important in today’s world, it’s great that students can get familiar with it while learning.

I believe online learning is going to be a big part of our lives in the future, making education more flexible and accessible for everyone.

I’ve never gone a whole week without my phone, but it sounds interesting. My phone is a big part of my life. I use it to talk to friends, check news, and watch videos for fun.

If I tried to stop using it, I think it would feel strange at first. I would probably reach for my phone without thinking, even if it’s not there. But after a few days, it would maybe feel better. I could have more time for reading, walking, or talking to people in person.

I know I use my phone a lot, sometimes just because I’m bored. Maybe I don’t need to stop for a whole week, but I could try using it less each day. It’s something worth trying.

I wish there was an alarm clock app that lets you set alarms for specific days of the month. Since my work schedule isn’t regular, it would be super helpful to set alarms on the exact days I’m scheduled to work. This way, I wouldn’t have to remember to set an alarm every time, and I’d never worry about forgetting.
