A Short Apology


Well, I guess it was a little bit rude of me to make two blog posts without telling a little about myself. I will try to rectify this a little in this blog posting.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I am enrolled in the M. Ed. IT program at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Currently, I am doing my second course in this program, so technically I’m not a newbie, but just one course removed.

I've been teaching for 16 years, spending the last 10 teaching Grade 6 at a small K-8 school just outside of Stephenville, NL. As a teacher, I’ve always been interested in incorporating technology into the classroom and over the last several years I’ve been working hard to try to do this as effectively as possible. I use Moodle with my Grade 6 students on a daily basis and also work in conjunction with the Grade 5 teacher at my school to offer an Art / Tech Art program to the Grade 6 – 8 students.

I’m originally from Burgeo (a small community on Newfoundland’s southwest coast), however I’ve spent the majority of my career teaching in the Port au Port / Bay St. George area. I’m very happily married and have two children in the school system.

Being from Burgeo, a teacher, and a parent has provided me with numerous noteworthy experiences and plenty of stories to tell.
