This week in our EDCI 336 class we were taught primarily on the importance and usefulness of open educational resources. We were given information on how to find our own resources and what it mean for these resources to be under protective copywrite or under creative common rights and permissions. I intend on using what I have learned when looking for images and other information to use for my own projects and assignments. For the photos I used to institute visuals for my free inquiry post, I found a site called Pexels, it provides thousands of high quality images available for download. These images are copywrite free, owners of these images have given up their legal rights to the pictures. Something I thought that was very interesting from this weeks lesson was learning about teachers pay teachers. An online platform used for teachers to sell and buy original lesson material for classroom use from each other. I think this is cool because it gives the teaching community a chance to provide one another with ideas and unique perspectives on lessons.

I am currently a University student studying in the field of Elementary Education. I was born and raised in Victoria B.C. I am super excited to enter a career in my field one day and hope I can make a lasting impact on my future students!
Last week there was an exciting event taking place in the Crossfit world. The 2020 Rebook Crossfit game, which began in 2007, aim to determine the fittest man and women in the world. This year a combination of online and in-person events will take place. 30 men and women from 16 different countries will compete for this title. On September 18th, stage one of the games began and the top 5 men and women to compete at stage 2 were determined. The prize for the top man and women is a whooping $1.3 million USD. Stage one of the games included events such as thrusters, chest to bar pull ups, 1 rep max front squat, deadlift and handstand pushups.
For my inquiry project I would like to focus on sports, specifically Crossfit. I am not certain that I will move in this direction for my project as we have just began to orchestrate ideas for this assignment. I will make blog posts containing different areas of crossfit and describing the pros and cons of each activity associated with the area are. I will also find relevant photos to visually enhance my posts as well as provide a visual of what I am describing. Through this project, I hope to further my knowledge of design, finding resources and documenting through the use of technology.
As this is still the first week of EDCI 336 I am still figuring out how to use the blogging platform that we have been assigned to use. I have never been tech savvy, I remember back in middle school that tech class was my least favorite out of all my classes. However now that I am older I understand the importance of technology in the classroom. From creating documents for students, class websites and monitoring class activity and grading it is the future of learning assistance in the classroom. I believe that, although it may not always be straightforward for those who may not posses a strong background in technology it is arguably convenient, efficient and reliant.
Just a little about myself – I am from Victoria and have went to school here my whole life. I have always thought about being a teacher since high school when I recognized my love for teaching others and taking on the leader role. However, my first year I ignored these thoughts and took business instead but soon realized tha My hopes for this course include learning the basics of setting up my own website, how to create a strong online presence for class material, as well as learning the importance of integrating technology into the classroom and how students can develop from it.
