Hello, my name is Andrew Conrad and I teach grade eight English Language Arts and Social Studies in Amherst, Nova Scotia. I believe technology integration is a key defining feature of  my educational journey since beginning in 2020. I believe equity and inclusion are important elements of education and with/through technology we can begin to close the gap. At my school, over half live in rural areas with roughly a third of the students living in poverty. I am eager to explore how to introduce technology into the classroom to benefit learners, in order to create a more equitable classroom.  Through our course in Digital Citizenship I am learning how to expand my educational practice to become a more accessible technology-based teacher. 

For my Digital Citizenship Project and Activity and  I intend to show you an example of how I would use Digital Citizenship practices in a classroom and expand an a-typical classroom with technology based practices.
