I learned so much today!! First of all, I appreciate the EdCamp as we were able to work collaboratively with the other cohort. While both of us are doing the PDP program, we didn’t have a lot of opportunities to work with one another. I think it’s a valuable experience to get to know more people who will eventually become our future colleagues.

At the very beginning, I was interested in the topic of the educational games. I think it’s very interesting that there were so many topics on the board, and how many of them are somehow related to one another. Unfortunately, the person who wanted to talk about educational games decided to join other group instead, so I ended up joining the nature classroom workshop. I learned so much about nature, plants, and fungi.

We talked about school gardens, wild plants, indigenous plants, and First Nations’ connection to land and nature, and most importantly, how we can cooperate with nature in the classroom! We discussed different non-profit organizations in Victoria. One of these is called “Vancouver Mycological Society” and they have great resources about mushrooms! (Yummm!) 🤤

Special thanks to Nisa and Elizabeth who lead the discussion smoothly!
