I really enjoyed listening to, and a participating in this debate. At this point, I think technology has increased the equity gap in education. That’s not to say, however, that it doesn’t have the potential to eradicate the gap. What was super awesome about this debate was that we had some insight into what equity […]

Okay, I’ll just say it. The word “banned” is just a little too strong. So to briefly answer the debate question about whether cell phones should be banned from the classroom or not, no. Probably not banned. To shed some light on this, I switched schools last year from an elementary school to a K-12 […]

I think that’s when you […]

I’ll check the most important three items: text messages, emails and Just Bins. (Joking about Just Bins…. Kinda). Professionally, I use […]

After listening to the debate my answer remained unchanged, however, I believe it is because of what I particularly value of childhood. I think we need to be cognizant when entering this debate that we all value different […]

Myself and my partner were given the challenge to debate against this state this past week. To be honest, I was the last to sign up for a debate topic last week (the Herauf family is BUSY in the summer!) so I actually just kind-of got stuck with this position. So, certainly being in an […]

My goal was creating an online course that is inclusive to all learners. I chose the Cree Language as instructional material because I wanted to share the message that Indigenous languages are accessible to all students in every school in Canada. Through online learning platforms, Indigenous educators have a wonderful opportunity to create accessible programsContinue reading “Cree Language online instruction! Final submission”
