I decided to write this blog as a reflective tool for my own learning, as I begin another journey through the school year. Since I finished my Doctor of Education in July, there has been a lot of lighthearted talk about what I might do with all my free time! So I thought this was as good a place as any!
I have many areas of interest and read a lot of amazing things from other educators and academics, and I thought this blog would give me a place to pull together some of my thoughts and consolidate what I have been learning.
I thought a lot about what the focus for this blog should be. Should I focus on Deep Learning? Should I focus on MakerSpaces? Should I focus on inclusion? So many areas I am passionate about! So I decided instead of having a specific focus area, I will make my blog a general place for thoughts and reflections. I called it Making Meaning in the OCSB to reflect the core purpose of this blog and really of all learning, making meaning. I thought about what many of my interest areas have in common, and I realized it is really about making meaning-be it through MakerSpace activities, Maker Mindset, Deep Learning, or inclusion, making meaning is a common thread.
So I hope if you chose to read my posts you will engage in discussion, suggest other resources and articles and books, and mostly, reflect on the meaning they make for you!
