What are some learning activities I plan to take part in after I am done this course? 

It can be divided into two sections.

Things that I should do for work:

I also plan on taking the indigenous course that the school likes us to have when we apply for jobs. I cannot find it online now, but every year I apply for a job it is on the posting and can be taken free through TRU since I am staff.

I would love to go for an all expenses paid trip to a conference. I love hotels, vacations from family and eating out. It would have to be an actually interesting conference though, and not a stuffy one. I don’t know about any conferences yet, as I don’t quite yet identify as a teacher. Every book I have had to read for the sake of this course has been really boring and brutal so as of now I have zero books I am looking forward to reading for work. I would like to shape my course lessons a bit better though and make them super engaging and interesting. I’m talking funny video clips, interesting stories, neat games. I really want to make school fun again.

Things that I want to learn in my personal life:

Well definitely the learning CAD (Computer Aided Design) that I talked about in my last blog post. It’s something I want to learn for myself and my students. I am also going to take a night course for intro to welding. Being sessional I can take it for free in the evening and I cannot wait as I love any sort of trades courses. I dream of building a table but was never a fan of the big chunky wooden legs and wanted to do a classy wood top with metal legs. Yumm! I also plan on learning how to use my friends wood CNC and maintaining it for them. How exciting the world of doing is. 

So yes, after this course, I plan on actually adding fun learning into my life and I can’t wait.
