It's Just Dirt: An ePortfolio of Learning

(Or How I Overcame Fear, Embraced Technology, and Transformed my Teaching Practice)

An important note about the frameworks I use throughtout this page! I am deeply committed to equity, diversity, inclusion, decolonization and anti-racism (EDIDA) in my practice! To read more about these frameworks, the American Psychology Association (APA) has a great framework for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. The First Nations Education Steering Committee has provided a great overview of the First People's Principles of Learning. The Indigenous Worldviews vs. Western Worldviews is also a great read for those of you wishing to decolonize and Indigenize your classes. Lastly, the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) has some great resources on Anti-Racism Frameworks!

For auditory learners, these videos provide an audio version of the text.

As you might have guessed, I am also inspired by how making and learning are linked. This video provies some great examples of why having a Maker Mindset/Growth Mindset are essential for learning!
