Now a few weeks into my teacher education program and being in a technology class, I have found myself using technology in different ways, and finding interesting ways that I could integrate it into my future teaching. I felt little overwhelmed at first with all this new tech info. But I can say that I am becoming more and more comfortable using these new tools.
After being on topics of TED talks for the last little while I found myself watching speeches and walking away feeling refreshed, educated, motivated, and informed.
I took a little bit of time to focus in on my research but I plan to do more of in depth research this week.
- One little problem I am running into is the fact that Black holes are so well known in the science world but we also know very little about them. For obvious reasons.
Questions I have run into myself are wondering how difficult it will be to find the appropriate information for my presentation and how am I going to make it interesting and engaging for the viewers. I would like my presentation to be fun and interesting.
I am thinking that for me to get a good foundation to my project I will need to possibly visit the BrockU library,get some concrete information from academic books and then further my research on the internet and find scholarly videos and articles.
Looking forward to working on it ! :)

Genius hour project idea
Genius hour project
Hello everybody I have decided that i will be doing my Genius hour project on how black holes are formed and what are the implications of them. I have always been into astronomy and the crazy scientifically facts that come along with it.
Super excited to get started on this project for my tech class. I will be starting my research and keeping my blog up to date with cool interesting facts that I run into.
Heres a little taste of how powerful a black hole can be and the implication it can have on its surrounding!
Enjoy until next time :)

Copyright
Hi everyone, this blog will be about information acquired on copyright ! In todays technological world a lot of technology is used in learning and in schools. Teachers just as much as students are using wonderful resources.
I was always aware that there were laws and licensing behind copyrighting information, but I was never aware that you could filter searches to properly find digital media that has obtained permission to be used. I learned on how to properly find media that is allowed to be use by the creative commons licensing and the different types that can be combined. For example attribution, Share Alike, Non-Commercial, and No Derivative Works.
In my future in teaching it will be very important to:
- Teach students the importance of following copyright & how to properly use an image that has been created by someone else.
- To show them how to find the information that the creators provided for us about the creative commons licenses on their creation (product).
- To teach the students how to be able to determine if a video or an image can legally be used after finding the copyright licensing attached to it.
- And lastly to teach them the importance behind citing the source that needs to be inserted. This is an essential aspect when using digital information & media.

Introduction
Hi my name is Vincent Savain, I am in my first year of teacher college at Brock University and my ultimate goal is to become a physical education teacher. I did my undergraduate in Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa. In grade 9 or 10 I realized wanted to become a physical education teacher and from that day on I made sure to take the necessary steps in the right direction.
I am very excited to see what this program has to offer for me and give me the tools I need for my future career.
My blogs will be including various post about my journey and different classes I will be taking through my teacher education program. I will be posting about various tools that I have learned about, digital resources and experiences that I encounter in my journey to becoming a certified teacher.
