Final Blog!

 On Monday we had the pleasure of hearing from the ever fantastic Dean Shareski. 

Before we begin I will link his blog & twitter below! 

https://ideasandthoughts.org/ & https://twitter.com/shareski 👇

If you have not already checked his stuff out I highly suggest doing so! (After you read my blog first 😊)

Dean radiated with energy and had me drawn in from beginning to end. He clearly has a passion for teaching and for children and it showed with the cameo made by his grandson. 

Dean preached joy and delight and ensuring that as educators we always ring our A game to our classroom. Students can tell when we care and if we don't care they won't care either, it's that simple. 


I like the above quote because it is so true. We do it because we care BUT teaching takes long hours and patience. Some days we are going to have to put on a brave face and take it 1 hour at a time but as long as we don't let our bad days shine through into our classroom we should be alright! 

Happy teaching friends! You've got this!

Good luck to everyone on placement

    Nice Post Joshua on bringing joy to teaching by Dean. I think bringing joy to class is not an easy task for us but mandatory for teaching learning to happen.

 Hello again readers & welcome back!  On Monday we had a great experience that allowed us to pick the brain of a principal here in Manitoba. However, it wasn't just any principal... it was the principal of the BRAND NEW Manitoba Remote Learning Support Centre, Andy Mead! Link here ---->   mbremotelearning.ca   Andy shared plenty of information about this exciting new venture, including how the day to day operations work , who is enrolled, who can enrol, and the importance of a social media presence is in the Covid-19 era.  This school offers online schooling for students who may not feel safe or be able to attend school in person, it is a K-8 school and offers programming to students Manitoba wide. I thought I would take a creative spin at this weeks blog and interview a fellow education student on his thoughts on this new school.  I interviewed Joshua Ferguson to get his thoughts on Manitoba's new educational endeavour.  A = Mr. Asham...

Tech Task #4 - Internet Resources

 As a physical educator, I LOVE this resource. Joey Feith has consistent uploads, themed uploads, and grade appropriate uploads.  The resource is the YouTube channel Joey Feith - The Physical Educator.  This resource is a great place to watch detailed Low Organised Games with visuals that describe the game perfectly. You can use this individually or you can show your class the video explaining the game to save confusion.  Check it out fellow Physical Educators!  ----------------->    The Physical Educator

 On Monday our class had the privilege of hosting Kirsten Thompson the ICT Coordinator at Mountain View School Division.  I really enjoyed being able to have her virtually speak to us about her experiences using technology and social media within her past classrooms and now as her job as ICT Coordinator and how she implements it within the entire school division.  After Kirsten Thompson shared her wealth of knowledge on implementing her techniques we shifted our focus of topic onto how we as teachers were going to implement technology into our future classrooms. She had us ask ourselves, what is our "niche"?. What can I as a teacher bring to the table that nobody else can? Or that limited others can? Or that can't be replaced by technology?  What is my "Niche"? I believe I have a number of things that I can bring to a classroom that can't be replaced. I have experience playing professional sports which not many people can say that they have done. As a physic...
