I know some things about technology, but it is not my wheelhouse. I would also like to learn more about what my students are accessing and how they are accessing it. I worry about student safety with technology and need more information to teach them how to be safer and better digital citizens.  ]]> 2022-03-07 17:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/elliottrachelvt/cncy85u0l6kl1lvf/wish/2082113937 elliottrachelvt https://padlet.com/elliottrachelvt/cncy85u0l6kl1lvf/wish/2082121210 I am a dual citizen of the United States and Canada.  Many people joke that being Canadian is why I play hockey and have my whole life.  I would argue my love for maple syrup is probably more related to this.  ]]> 2022-03-07 17:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/elliottrachelvt/cncy85u0l6kl1lvf/wish/2082121210 elliottrachelvt https://padlet.com/elliottrachelvt/cncy85u0l6kl1lvf/wish/2082134737 I enjoy using technology to communicate with friends and family in my personal life.  I also enjoy watching videos to pass the time when I am bored.  One of my favorite ways to use technology in my personal life is using it to track fitness, workouts, and make physical activity fun and interesting. 

I use technology to communicate with my students and colleagues in my professional life.  I also use technology to try and keep students engaged in various activities in class.  I also use technology to research various subjects I am teaching my students to ensure that my knowledge is current and up-to-date.  I also enjoy using technology to access a variety of resources to improve my instruction.]]> 2022-03-07 17:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/elliottrachelvt/cncy85u0l6kl1lvf/wish/2082134737 elliottrachelvt https://padlet.com/elliottrachelvt/cncy85u0l6kl1lvf/wish/2082139013 I try to coach as many clubs and sports as I can at my school to try and give students access to new activities.  Currently, I coach soccer, run the ski and board program, skating club, Prosper program, and GLOW (Gay, Lesbian, or Whoever). 

These clubs allow me to show my students some of the beautiful things Vermont has to offer, outside and inside.]]> 2022-03-07 17:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/elliottrachelvt/cncy85u0l6kl1lvf/wish/2082139013 elliottrachelvt https://padlet.com/elliottrachelvt/cncy85u0l6kl1lvf/wish/2088246893 I am currently trying to learn Russian.]]> 2022-03-10 12:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/elliottrachelvt/cncy85u0l6kl1lvf/wish/2088246893 elliottrachelvt https://padlet.com/elliottrachelvt/cncy85u0l6kl1lvf/wish/2088252995 I teach middle school health, but I also teach my students how to cook for a month of each trimester.
