From the first day we discussed the final project criteria I knew what I
wanted to attempt. This project has been something I’ve wanted to do for
the last year and encompasses a few of my teaching passions; tech, online
identity, and anti-oppressive education.

832: Summary of Learning
I chose to take a slightly different approach for my Summary of Learning.

As is my concern for most topics, at what point do we move from primarily
focusing on pre-service teachers and looking at in-service educators for
education on all things anti-oppressive and digital evolution?

I’m not sure that I believe that anyone can be fully media literate
considering the pace at which everything changes. What I do believe, is
that we can acquire a set of skills that enable us to be as adaptable as
possible to what will be presented to us both consciously and
subconsciously. I agree that this set of skills should include the ability
to access, analyze, evaluate, and communicate (as the National Leadership
Conference of Media Literacy defines) and I wonder if this will soon become
a part of mandatory and mainstream educational practice. The way I see it,
the media and digital world are a fully functioning part of any society and
should be treated as such. I support the education of digital literacy and
citizenship taking place alongside other child-rearing practices such as
manners and sharing.

Yup, you read that right.

My online identity has changed quite a lot in recent years due to building
online businesses. In fact, I have multiple versions. Those who search for
educational resources may find this blog site or my Sask Thinking Classroom
Instagram page while those looking for healthy food ideas might happen upon
my Roxy’s Nutrition page. But even with multiple realities, they frequently
overlap in content.
832 Major Project: Early Stages
During the first class of EC&I 832, we reviewed the syllabus, as usual, and
covered expectations for the final assignment(s). I immediately knew what I
wanted to attempt. I waited until after class to ask Dr Couros if creating
a list of resources that represented Indigenous perspectives, voices, and
ways of knowing was suitable for the criteria. I had no idea what it would
look like
Apihtawikosisan – Both Halves Matter
This week’s topic is: How do we approach the concept of identity in a digital and networked world?While researching this topic, I began contemplating the idea of ‘the norm’ and those who either don’t fit into it or choose not to conform. We all seek re…
