Can’t believe it’s already the last week of education classes, time has really flown by. I’ve learnt a lot this school year like managing a classroom, proper teacher etiquette, using tech in education and many other important topics pertaining to teaching. #ICT362

@pateld361 @MrDancelED I agree, it was a very good presentation and really improved my knowledge of the app! #ICT362

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

Tech presentations have started this week in #ICT362 and have been very interesting/informative. The bar has been set extremely high after witnessing some great presentations from: @Abby_Petersen3 @NigelTolley2 @BrettDreilichED @KulcheskiEd

Circuits are a great way to keep everyone active and moving! Fitness and it’s importance is something that needs to continue being focused on in Phys Ed class. #ICT362

Was an interesting end to the week as we we got to learn about the educational side of Minecraft. With many different subject kits available, it allows for a unique and interactive type of learning. #ICT362

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

I could see this being a very useful strategy to help students calm down. It’s easy to get carried away with excitement or competitiveness in Phys Ed, so this will definitely be something I try in the future. #ICT362

[Kyle Loftus @KLoftus_PE]

Just added this to my gym. Does anyone else use a calm down corner or something like this? Any suggestions or tips?

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

Excited for tomorrows #ICT362 class, as we will be learning about using Minecraft in the classroom.

I gotta be honest, the fellows in our class really brought it this week with the smart board games! #ICT362

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

I really enjoyed todays class getting to see and participate in the great Lumio creations my fellow classmates presented #ICT362

#ICT362 @SMART_Tech Lumio student demo day @BU_Faculty_Ed

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

Spent todays #ICT362 class creating a fun and educational trivia game on Lumio. Excited to have some people try it out.

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

Lately in #ICT362 we’ve been looking at digital stories and what goes into creating them. I’ve really enjoyed learning about this, and have had quite the time creating my own story book on story jumper!

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

Lots of great memories using these in Phys Ed class. Some not so great memories as well…#ICT362

[Jarrett Payton @paytonsun]

You knew what time it was when your PE teacher brought these out!

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

To avoid compassion fatigue, you need to think about yourself sometimes and put your well-being first. Always putting others feelings or situations above yours is what can lead to the fatigue. #mbedchat

[mbedchat @mbedchat1]

Q5: How can we, as caring professionals, avoid compassion fatigue? #mbedchat

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

Signs of burnout may vary depending on the person. Often times it can look like fatigue, irritability, or lack of concentration. Those are just a few of the many signs. For people struggling, I would suggest to take a step back and just relax. #mbedchat

[mbedchat @mbedchat1]

Q4: What are the signs of burnout and how can you recognize them in a colleague? What suggestions do you have that can help your colleagues who are struggling? #mbedchat

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

To help end the stigma, we need to continue to talk about mental health. We also need to let people know that it’s ok not to be ok and we should never feel alone. We all have our own struggles and talking about those struggles can help with solving them. #mbedchat

[mbedchat @mbedchat1]

Q3: There continues to be stigma around mental health that needs to end. How can we help end the stigma? #mbedchat

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

In Park-west School Division where I did my first placement, there are supports through counselling for students and teachers. At Brandon University they too focus on the well-being of profs and students. That’s why I respect the University so much, I never feel alone #mbedchat

[mbedchat @mbedchat1]

Q2: What does your school or division do to promote staff mental health? #mbedchat

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

I like to set aside time throughout my day to get outside for fresh air, watch tv to relax, and also be physically active by playing sports or working out. This relieves the stress work puts on me and ensures that it won’t negatively impact other parts of my life. #mbedchat

[mbedchat @mbedchat1]

Q1: What do you do to maintain a healthy work/life balance?

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

Had a great week in ICT learning about digital literacy! An important topic these days due to the extensive use of technology and social media, especially in schools. #ICT362

[Adam Robidoux @Mr_Robidoux]

@CoachGelardi @JrV4Victory A cool way to combine math with physical fitness, love this idea. #ICT362
