I hope everyone had a very restful holiday and all the best in the New Year!
My name is Julia and I graduated from Brock in 2006 from the BA/BEd Con-Ed program. I am originally from Sault Ste. Marie, but am currently in my second year of teaching in the tiny northern community of Sioux Lookout, ON. It is about a 5 hour drive north of Thunder Bay - in a different Time Zone! Last year I taught JK but thankfully this year I have grade four (which is much more my speed!) in the Catholic school.
I have taken a few online courses from Brock before so I am pretty familiar with the WebCT program. I usually consider myself somewhat okay with computers (perhaps only when compared to most 90 year-olds), however computers are something that frustrate me easily, which is one of the reasons I am taking this course. I am also interested in learning about the different programs I can be using to upgrade my technology portion of my teaching (which has a dismal existence at present).
I am very excited to meet everyone and if this is similar to the other online courses that I have taken, I am sure we will all network, and discuss and share best practices and great ideas! Good luck and let's chat soon!

Hi Julia,
I agree the site looks great! I did my BEd at Lakehead and loved being up North, I know that's not quite as far as you are. Must be some great experiences you are having up there, I had a couple of friends that ended up going to Moose Factory and Pikanjikum (sp?) and they loved it.
