Bio

I am a biology and environmental science teacher at Chilliwack Secondary, and I also developed and teach our CSS Equestrian Program. I became interested in paperless Flipclass and Mastery Learning pedagogy several years ago, which lead me down the ed tech path of using Moodle extensively in my classroom (blended learning model), along with OneNote and host of other software and apps. I also have over a decade of experience working summers at FVDES (distance learning school) which exposed me to an even wider variety of ed tech options and how they might be best used for learning. Now I am able to run both synchronous and asynchronous learning opportunities for my students, both in-class and remotely, which provides the flexibility needed in this day and age. I will also add that I have a specialty in ecological education, and am always seeking more ways to incorporate ed tech into the outdoor/applied learning scenarios I provide to students in my classes. I hope to be able to help you find new ways to use ed tech in your teaching practice, whether your students are in your classroom, or are learning remotely for a time.
