Hello!

My name is Samantha, and I am a teacher candidate in the UVic Elementary PDP Program. I am super excited to be learning about all the ways technology can be incorporated in classrooms today, and how to take on the challenges this technology presents in education as well. I do not consider myself a tech savvy person, so I am a little bit nervous about how much there is to know, but excited to learn about available tools that can help me in my teaching practice. I love spending time with children, especially learning through nature- and play-based activities with them, and think it could be interesting to know more about how to incorporate technology and outdoors learning together in this course.

Outside of my education, I enjoy being active, and play on a women’s soccer team. We practice twice a week and have a game every weekend. I played a lot of sports growing up, and love the feeling of working with others towards a common goal and taking on challenges as a team, as well as setting my own personal goals. I also enjoy biking and taking walks and exploring the myriad of beautiful areas around Victoria.  My family’s beagle, Burt, also helps keep me busy and gets me outdoors.

I am looking forward to expanding my technological competencies in this course, and delving into some interesting inquiry topics!
