I am looking forward to learning new ways to incorporate technology in my classroom. As I teach French as a second language, I know there are many available technological tools that I have yet to discover for my students to expand their knowledge of French. ]]> 2018-04-02 22:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/247947574 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248030739 My name is John Artymko. I currently teach Grades 6-8 at George Vanier Catholic School in Combermere, Ontario. Offering relevant, hands-on experiential learning opportunities to my students is important to me. I'm about to begin a TLLP which begins with 3D design and printing, and finishes with students learning and applying basic woodworking skills to create a small project.]]> 2018-04-03 09:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248030739 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248076028 My name is Layla Tomkinson. I graduated from Nipissing University in June of 2017. Since October, I've been an Occasional Teacher for the Renfrew County Catholic School Board. I love being an occasional teacher! Throughout this course, I'm looking forward to learning about ways that I can incorporate technology in my teaching both as an occasional and permanent teacher. ]]> 2018-04-03 12:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248076028 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248132942 I'm Joe Goulet, I'm a math teacher in Windsor.  I've been teaching for about 14 years, and lately I've been feel like like some of my lessons are getting stale.  I'm just hoping to gain some new ideas and techniques to stay current.  I haven't taken any classes in about ten years and I'm excited to be a student again.

I am an ESL/Spec Ed teacher working for the TCDSB for about 7 years. I am currently on Mat leave with my 5 month old. I took this course to keep my mind stimulated! I try to use technology in my classroom, however I always use what i am comfortable with. I want to learn new technology to enhance my students learning and to have it more integrated in my teaching! ]]> 2018-04-03 17:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248218557 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248266142 Hi everyone! My name is Josh Pivato. I am an Occasional Teacher with the WCDSB in Guelph, Ontario. I graduated from the Concurrent Education program through Wilfrid Laurier University and Nipissing University in June 2017 and began teaching in January 2018. Although I am "new" to the teaching field, I have over 5 years of teaching experience through placements and overseas teaching opportunities. I am eager to learn more about how I can incorporate technology into the classroom on a daily basis, and I look forward to (virtually) spending the next few weeks with all of you! ]]> 2018-04-03 18:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248266142 agostinok https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248319100 Hi, my name is Krystina McNiven and I am currently teaching grade 6. This is my first year permanent, but have been teaching for 6 yeaars (first year in grade 6). I work for the Hamilton Catholic Board. I work in an older school where I still have a good old projector and pull down screen, we have access to iPad and computer lab, as well as a smart board in the library. I am looking forward to learning how to best utilize technology to enhance the learning experience for my students. ]]> 2018-04-03 22:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248319100 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248321121 My name is Kelsey McLaughlin and I currently teach French immersion Grade 1 in Kingston with ALCDSB. This is my first year teaching and I absolutely love it. I feel comfortable using technology in the classroom and I see much value when using it. I do however want to become more comfortable with applications to differentiate within the classroom, and that my students can use to enhance their learning experience. I look forward to this course and the discussion we will have!]]> 2018-04-03 22:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248321121 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248323087 Hi to all, my name is Matthew Smith. I am currently teaching a Junior Learning Strategies Class in the Ottawa Catholic School Board. The class is designated as grade 5, but the students I teach can be working from the grade 1-5 level in various subjects. I use technology extensively in the classroom and I hope to gain further knowledge on different programs and methods that can be used in the classroom. I look forward to a productive and interesting few months with this course. ]]> 2018-04-03 22:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248323087 jlawrence9 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248323686 My name is Jocelyn Lawrence.

I've been teaching for a long time and I would like to engage my students more in their learning by using technology in the classroom. I really look forward to using in the classroom what I learn in this course.]]> 2018-04-04 01:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248343122 janice_vriend1 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248346735 My name is Janice Vriend and I am currently on an LTO at Monsignor Paul Baxter in Barrhaven, Ottawa. This is a prep and planning position and I primarily teach Religion to junior classes. However my teaching career spans 25 years, 3 continents, multiple grades and subjects. For several reasons I have only been teaching in the Ottawa Catholic School Board for a few years. Since I am aiming to get permanent status or at least another LTO, I needed to update my skill set and add extra qualifications to my name. With STEM being a huge focus at the moment and my keen awareness of technological weaknesses, I decided to enrol in this course. I"m not gonna lie but the rebate incentive motivated me too:)]]> 2018-04-04 01:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248346735 mhmusah https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248350140 My name is Marie. I'm in the GTA. I have returned to Canada after working abroad for a few years and will hopefully be back in the classroom Sept 2018. I'm taking this AQ to refresh my professional knowledge. I love incorporating technology into each of my lessons and to assist me in my prep work. I am looking forward to learning more about educational technology and the impact technology can have in the classroom. ]]> 2018-04-04 02:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248350140 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248446385 My name is Laura Mastantuono and I am a newly permanent teacher with the Ottawa Catholic School Board. Most of my experience is in the Junior panel as I taught a full year in Grade 5/6 last year. My permanent assignment is prep and planning over a large range of grades. I decided to enrol in this course as I am on maternity leave and enjoy still somewhat being connected to the classroom. Additionally I am interested in more ways to incorporate meaningful technology in my classroom to support all my students learning.]]> 2018-04-04 11:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248446385 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248469293 My name is Gloria Benitez. I've been working as an OT with the Ottawa Catholic School Board for quite some time. It's been the perfect job for me since I have a young family. I do however intend to pursue an LTO position some day in the near future. Since technology is increasingly growing and implemented in the schools I believe taking this course is probably one of the best things I will do to benefit myself in my teaching career. I'm excited to learn tons in this course!]]> 2018-04-04 13:03:58 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248469293 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248923800 Hi, everyone. My name is Emilie Murden. I am currently an OT with Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board. While I love having my own class during  LTOs (secondary level), I am also quite content with the flexibility of supply work (which I am enjoying at the moment). I am not too savvy when it comes to technology and its use, and occasional teaching does not give me much of an opportunity to grow my skills. I'm hoping this course will help me get up to date with the latest tools and bring me into the 21st century a little bit more.]]> 2018-04-05 15:35:33 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248923800 nixon_j https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248951997 My name is Jeff Nixon. I am currently an OT with the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board. I spent my first year out of Teachers College working in England where I taught a Year 5 class. Having my own classroom was a blast but I am also enjoying entering different classrooms on a daily basis during my time as an OT. I am taking this AQ so I will be able to create an enriching and educational experience for my students with a focus on technology. I feel like this course is the best way to discover the numerous applications and assistive technology that is offered to us as teachers. Looking forward to a successful few weeks!]]> 2018-04-05 16:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/248951997 jribeiro2 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/249062444 My name is Jenn Ribeiro and I am currently an OT with the Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board. I work in the Elementary level but get assignments across all grade levels. I have access to an active board but I would love to learn how to use different technology in order to engage students in the time I am with them. I'm interested in improving my less then savvy tech skills so that as I progress in my teaching career and bring these new skills with me into the future. Looking forward to learning new skills.]]> 2018-04-05 21:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/249062444 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/249353713 2018-04-06 19:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/249353713 https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/251420280  ]]> 2018-04-13 03:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/marcleonardi/acackwj58kcl/wish/251420280
