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
