Hello!
My name is Hannah, and this is my first ever blog post (and first blog for that matter)! I am a avid traveler, and love to sew and paint. I love meeting new people and studying different cultures from my own.  I am currently enrolled in a Child and Youth Studies program, and am looking forward to a future career as a teacher. I love the program that I am in and constantly find myself learning new things about my self that I never knew.
Blogging is something very new to me (although everyone in my family has an ongoing blog, ironically enough), and I hope that this experience will help me gain some much needed confidence in regards to online media.
As a future educator, it is important to me that I am comfortable with learning through digital media, as well as helping my students learn in digital contexts. I have previously taken courses that involve looking at various forms of digital learning for students, and have found them to be very informative, and interesting. There are so many digital resources out there, and so many of them can be used for education purposes! It is very important to me, that I am able to provide the best possible learning environment for my future students, and the reality is, digital media will likely be one of them! As a result of this desire, I have enrolled in a course entitled; Learning in Digital Contexts (pretty handy huh?). The main purpose of this blog, is for assignment posts, but I hope that it will result in more than just another credit towards my education. I hope to gain knowledge and perspective in regards to digital media, and learning through digital contexts through this course. I often find myself lost when it comes to online, and technological resources, and so I hope to gain skills for tackling those areas though this course.
So I invite anyone willing to listen (or read I suppose...), to join me over this semester as I learn more about this crazy digital world that we have access to, and learn with me... digitally!
