Introduction

September 15, 2021 / / 0 Comments

My name is Rianne Yuen. I am currently in my fourth year at UVic. My goal is to become an elementary school teacher by majoring in sociology and minoring in education.

The last three summers, I worked for a summer camp with special needs children, where I was inspired to become a teacher. During the camp we worked on basic life skills while enjoying the summer! Also, I was an assistant coach for a local ringette team where I was able to help notice and improve players skills. Now, I started working at a daycare as a support worker for a little boy with autism. This has allowed me to practice my early childhood teaching skills by slowly teaching him basic classroom policies. Overall, my experience has lead me to become a teacher in the future.

Moreover, I am currently living in Victoria BC, with four other roommates that are also attending UVic. I enjoy going for walks, hikes and watching the sunset.

If you have any cool places to walk or hike in near Victoria, comment below!

What is Multimedia and Interactive Learning?

September 15, 2021 / / 2 Comments

As a future teacher, I want to provide multiple different methods of teaching. In order for this, I need to learn different methods including multimedia and Interactive learning. In my education timeline, I have found multimedia a great way to learn and understand material. There is often videos with images, titles, labels, and direction to help one learn. For example, I did not understand a math question. I used YouTube to look for a video to help explain better. In the video, the creator used signaling principles and modality principles. The video had images and printed texts as well as highlighted important numbers of the question. This allowed me to easily follow along and comprehend the information. I would like to learn how to create videos like “The Signaling Principle” to help my future students learn. In my own experience, I struggle with paying attention and multitasking. When the teacher provides written slides, talks and draws diagrams, I can easily get lost. This causes me to not understand the material and have to look elsewhere for clarification. Thus, multimedia is a great way to delivery knowledge. Videos tend to be organized and easy to follow along. Videos can also be entertaining to the viewers, allowing them to stay focused. Learning more about this method can improve my teaching methods. Overall, I am excited to learn more about multimedia and interactive learning.
