Hi from Vancouver

By Wanyi Wong on September 9, 2016

etec-campfireHi everyone! My name is Wanyi. I work as a student coordinator for international students from China at various private high-schools by day, and a regular MET grad student by night.  This class would be my sixth course and I have just completed ETEC 532 over the summer. I have taught elementary students in Canada and in South Korea before and I love to travel.

We are asked to attach an image here, so I thought I’ll share the campfire visual I created for my summer course, to describe how I view and hope to achieve through online learning.  The campfire metaphorically represents the learning process that occurs in online learning environments.  Our class as the ring of people who would surround the campfire on a cool summer night, and the whole campfire experience as the learning that occurs. The firewood are the weekly contents and readings that we covered, and the process of adding the wood to keep the fire going are the discussions that we conducted for our weekly topics. Our weekly postings are our own occasional or frequent actions of adding the logs to the fire to keep the fire going.  And finally, the warmth that we each receive from the campfire as the knowledge we gain from this process. I picture our campfire to grow bigger with more time, perhaps even to the point when it’s big enough to be considered a bonfire.

I hope to learn from everyone and have fun while doing it as well.
