Read more "final reflection: future me will still love books"I can see how the EdCamp concept could help students get excited about the conversations they could have with each other. While the idea is quite broad and allows for open collaboration on common themes and topics, I think it can also be structured in a more focused way. For example, students could have discussions […]
Read more "Looking back at EdCamp"For my practicum, I’ll be working in a Grade 1 and 2 classroom, and I’m very excited! I’ll be teaching a science unit focused on plants, and I want to incorporate a lot of outdoor learning. I recently went through the resources from our Friday class (since I wasn’t able to attend in person), and […]
Read more "Plant ID galore :)"So, I got a new bike, and I’m super excited about it! My previous bike was a Giant, and I had it for five years. It served me really well for commuting, but I didn’t know how to take proper care of it. I didn’t clean the chain as often as I should have, which […]

I did 7km of running without stopping for more than a couple of minutes, and I felt great while doing it. Now, […]
Read more "Training update"In today’s class, the guest speakers invited us to reflect on how personal identity affects the way in which we move through the world. Intersectionality is a feminist term that considers the different identities that a single person holds and how that affects their lives, and tries to challenge dominant oppressive systems like ableism, racism, […]
Read more "On intersectionality and disability"It is important to consider nutrition during training. So far I have been eating balanced breakfasts before going for runs, bike rides, and swims, but I have not considered what I should eat right before, and during, longer runs and bike rides. This video suggest to athletes that carbohydrates are important for fueling longer bike […]
Read more "On fueling during a run or a bike ride"To plan for my workouts for triathlon training I find it important to know what I am doing, and where I am going ahead of time. Because I do not have a premium membership with Strava, I have had to find a solution to mapping my routes for free. I do this using the website […]
