Cinderella Themed Dinner For my final inquiry project I made the meal I talked about in my last post. It turned out really good! The bread bowls worked out, and held the soup without falling apart.

Digital Privacy I found that the act of googling ourselves was interesting. I’ve never googled Uvic after my own name before and it definitely narrowed down the results and I found a lot more than I knew was out there.

This week I went on the field trip to PSII and I really enjoyed getting to see the space. I could actually see myself working there and love the way they structure learning. It seems like they really are following the inquiry-based model in a way that other schools that say they are aren’t. I…

Clickview is a site that has a curated collection of educational/instructional videos. They also now house the TWIG science and math content.
