Tech Team – Quarter 2 Reflection

What are some initiatives\things\volunteering you have been involved with this past term? Describe what you have done, and the time you have spent.

Some volunteering I have been involved with this past term is spending my time in the Wave. I usually get to school early to work on any homework I didn’t get done the night before. While I am working, I am also on the lookout for any students or teachers who are having technical difficulties and who will need assistance. Generally, there aren’t many people who stop by, regardless, I enjoy sitting at the Wave because at least people know that there is someone there to help. This term, I have achieved 735 minutes of volunteer work at the Wave (close to 12 and a half hours).

What are some things you have learned?

Something I have learned is how connected I am with the Tech Team. Perhaps it’s not something new I have learned involving technology or leadership, but more so with my community. For example, when I get to school early and work on homework or study for a test, I am always surrounded by people stopping by such as my friends or other fellow Tech Team members. Even if I only see some of these people during Tech Team meetings or in the Wave, I can still create a meaningful connection with them. I also have friends that come and join me at the Wave in the morning. In addition, the Riverside community can see how we aren’t just technology experts, in fact, we are a community, we are a team. This term, I have learned how much I value that.

What are some of the challenges, aha moments, small wins…you experienced?

 

An “aha moment” or a small win that I had experienced was making Christmas cards for every Stream’s Holiday Hampers. It was my first time using the Cricut machine with construction paper rather than for stickers. When we were given a demonstration, it seemed very simple. After the paper was cut, as I went to get rid of any excess paper from the card stencil, I made sure I was being careful enough to not damage the card, but the card ended up being ripped in half. So, I decided to print another card, and I was even more cautious and careful with this one. Slowly but surely, I got rid of the excess material, and I ended up having a holiday card! My lesson from that was to proceed with new experiences cautiously because you never know what the outcome can be – you could rip a card in half!

Final Quarter Reflection – Tech Team

Tech Team Reflection

This year as a member of the Tech Team, there have been many new experiences that I have had the chance to be a part of. Some examples are helping to welcome in new grade nines, being in the Maker Space in the morning before school, during lunch and after school to help with any assignments, assisting with welcoming in parents of future grade nines to our school, and coming in early to work at the Wave.

During this last term, some initiatives and volunteering that I have been involved with are coming in early to provide any assistance needed at the Wave, helping in the Maker Space during class time or early in the morning, and by helping with any technical problems in my classes. I try to help in my classes whenever I can to the best of my abilities and I was working in the Wave for 380 minutes during the month of April, 360 minutes in May and about 100 minutes in June.

Something that I learned during this term was how to use the 3D printer better with the help of Tinker Cad, Mrs. Henderson and Ms. Leung. My strength with 3D printing is how to create a design using Thinker Cad, then exporting it in as the correct file to prepare for slicing. With that, a challenge I had was not knowing how to slice as I have never done it before. At first, I was a bit unsure of how to slice my print, but after being shown how to do the process a couple of times, I now know how to do it myself and how to help others as well. Something small I learned about the 3D printer was that when printing, the printer will create a base for the print job, therefore it does not stick to the glass or plastic printing mat.

With the end of the year approaching, I am now hoping to continue to print projects next year using the 3D printer whether they are big or small, for school or for myself, then I can also improve and experiment with the knowledge that I have. Along with that, I hope that I can assist other students and teachers with using the 3D printers correctly, either with the Tinker Cad program, or with slicing on the Maker Space computer.

Blog Finale du Cours – Culture Comparées 12

Ma Réflexion du Cours

Tout au long du cours, nous avons appris plusieurs de nouveaux aspects des autres cultures en Europe et l’Asie. Avec cela, nous avons aussi appris plus de nouvelles informations et des idées particulières à ces cultures. Ces informations et idées m’avaient aidé à encore développer mon français oral en plusieurs façons, même si on n’utilise pas ces mots dans nos vies quotidiennes. Par exemple, les mots qui sont reliés avec les religions, les nourritures, les plates classiques, les objets de la culture et les autres faits intéressantes de la culture. Quelques mots pourraient être cracher, comme les Grecques font quand ils veulent éliminer les esprits négatifs ; un duomo, qui est une église italienne ; la balalaïka, qui est un instrument russe similaire à une guitare ; la boussole, qui a été inventé durant la dynastie Han en Chine avec les quatre grandes inventions ; les règles élémentaires de comportement du Chine ; et Obon, une célébration des morts au Japon.

Avec toutes ces nouvelles informations, j’aime partager cela avec mes autres amis et ma famille comme mes parents, tantes, oncles, couins, grands-parents, etc. Souvent, quand les membres de ma famille me demandent comment école se passe, je réponds avec ce que j’avais appris durant ce cours, par exemple les autres cultures, les traditions de ces cultures et les sports nationaux de ces cultures. Quand je mentionne les sports à ma famille ou mes amis, cela est quand nous parlons et discute à propos des autres sports autour du monde qui sont similaires à ce que je mentionne.

Ce cours m’avait beaucoup aidée à mieux comprendre le concept de culture parce que je sais qu’il y a encore plus à faire avec les cultures comme d’où ils sont dans le monde, les plates uniques aux cultures, les vêtements portent par le peuple, toutes les religions de ces cultures et l’histoire de la culture. De plus, ce cours m’avait aidée avec mes passions et les curiosités que j’en ai à propos des cultures que nous avons appris. Par exemple, à choisir où je veux voyager, quelles places je veux visiter, les places historiques, les plates à essayer moi-même et encore plus.

Quand je serai plus âgée, je veux voyager tout autour du monde pour apprendre tout ce que je peux à propos du monde et les autres cultures. Peut-être que je peux aider les autres personnes dans les autres places du monde, ou je peux apprendre à comment aider les autres. En tout cas, je sais que je veux apprendre plus à propos des cultures du monde et maintenant je sais où je veux commencer.

À travers ce cours, mon amélioration de ma tolérance culturelle a grandi encore plus parce que je sais que chaque culture est unique avec plusieurs aspects importants qui rendent la culture à où elle est aujourd’hui. Maintenant, je peux mieux respecter et je suis plus conscient des autres cultures avec plusieurs religions, des classes sociales diffèrent et les croyances uniques.

Ce cours m’avait aidé à clarifie ma propre identité et à me mieux comprendre en plusieurs façons. Par exemple, pour ma propre identité, je sais connais de nouveaux faits intéressants à propos de la culture indienne que je ne savais pas en avance, comme les montants d’autres religions il y en a en Inde avec leur population de croyance énorme. Pour me mieux comprendre, je sais pour certain quels places et quelles cultures que je veux explorer plus autour du monde, par exemple, en Inde pour voir ma famille et pour aller apprendre plus à propos du sikhisme en Punjab.


Voici ma présentation de ma culture préférée de cette cours:

Core Competency Reflection – Français Langue 11

Here are my Core Competency reflections that show my strength and growth with Français Langue 11.

A Core Competency that shows Strength:

I showed strength with the communication competency by always contributing my ideas to any discussions or conversations with the class, by synthesizing, deepening, and developing my thoughts, and by acquiring, analyzing, and integrating my ideas together with the big ideas of the course. For example, with our group discussions about our class novel study “Monsieur Ibrahim et les Fleurs du Coran”, I always made sure I contributed to our group discussions about what we had read, and the big themes of the book. When it was time to work on our homework for the novel, I always made sure that my ideas and thoughts made sense, then expanded further on those topics and ideas.

 

A Core Competency that shows Growth:

I feel I could grow more with the critical and reflective thinking competency with examining various perspectives and analyzing interpretations of complex issues. For myself, I believe I need to work on taking time to fully understand a concept if I don’t understand it, and then discover what it is I need to work on in order to achieve better results, such as with French grammar and verbs.

Core Competencies Reflection – Automotive 11

Here is my Core Competency reflection for Automotive 11. I’ve reflected on the communication competency for this reflection, as I find it very useful for working in the automotive shop. I also reflect on my strengths, goals, and what I am planning to do in order to accomplish these goals.

Hope you enjoy!
