And just like that, the semester is over. It was a great first year for education courses, and I am ready to head to my placement next Monday! #ICT362

Excited for the last day of tech presentations today. Everyone who has presented has been fantastic so far! #ICT362

Seems like this semester is soon coming to a close. I'm excited to be heading back into the classrooms starting on Monday, and I am also very excited for the summer to follow! #ICT362

I've so far been enjoying these tech presentations greatly. I will definitely be looking to integrate many of these ICT tools and resources in my own classrooms going forward. #ICT362

I remember when I was in my first student teaching placement and we played a game of Kahoot for grade 9 social studies. The fun quiz nature of the game and its ability to be about any subjects can be very useful for any class! #ICT362

Teachers can utilise Minecraft Education to allow students to explore a recreation of historical events such as WWI. Here is a screenshot of me talking to the US President in a WWI Minecraft World. #ICT362

@ReichmuthBailey Saturnine by Dan Abnett is always a great read.

The quiz feature on Lumio seems like a really helpful tool to have for a history class! #ICT362

Man, creating a blog is a little harder than I would have expected. #ICT362

@mbedchat1 @Lisa_Baylis A4 When I'm at home I usually have my plastic model kits to paint or games to play to calm down. Remembering that whatever is causing my stress is only temporary can also help.

@mbedchat1 A3 Being kind to yourself is important as it can have positive effects on your mental health, or at the very least it can help negate negative effects on your mental health a bit. You can be kind to yourself by not judging your mistakes too harshly.

@mbedchat1 @Lisa_Baylis A2 When I was doing my placement I would typically go walk to the bathroom even if I didn't need to use it just to destress. It didn't happen a lot but it really helped to destress when I did.
