Today we had Janet Chow from Burnaby, B.C. video call into our class to discuss EdTech. We need to move from consuming information to creating; this increases the importance of the content. Janet discussed the importance of using story through technology. Everyone has a story. I think it is important for everyone to share their own story while they are learning. For example, if you are working in groups to create a totem pole, everyone should incorporate their own culture, their own background, and their own story to that totem pole to reflect who they are. This makes the experience a lot more meaningful. We did a fire starter activity with Janet where we created our own story with random materials. This let me take a step back and reflect on my learning journey. As educators we need to create experiences not lessons because that increases the desire for students to learn as it develops purpose. This message is really powerful for me because everything that I remember from school was a unique experience provided to me by my teachers. I continue to talk about these experiences to this day because they were so special to me as a child. I think it is essential for every educator to take a step back from the content and see how this could be meaningful for their students and how students can connect who they are to the content.
