Who is Miss Gordon?

Hi everyone! Thank you for visiting my blog!

      I was born and raised in Yorkton, SK, and currently reside on a farm outside of Canora, SK on Treaty 4 territory. I come from a family of teachers and have always had a passion for educating others. I have been an entrepreneur since the age of 15. I love to be in the kitchen cooking and baking up tasty treats. I spend more time than I would like to admit tending to my house plants and have recently taken up gardening. Throughout this blog, I look forward to sharing my journey of gardening through my EDTC 300 Learning Project.

    During my Spring 2022 semester, I have the opportunity to take the course, EDTC 300 - Introduction to Educational Technology & Media. Throughout this course, I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge of educational technology. I have created a Twitter Account for this class, and I would love it if you'd check it out. I have linked my account profile here: https://twitter.com/missogordon. Technology has evolved immensely within the classroom in recent years. As an entrepreneur, I have navigated many different social media platforms to advertise my business but, blogging is a whole new experience for me. I would consider myself a reluctant blogger but I am always open to a new learning experience. I sometimes struggle putting my learnings into words, so I am excited to try something new during this course. In regard to educational technology, I have navigated different platforms such as Canva (https://www.canva.com/) and Google Slides (https://www.google.ca/slides/about/) where I have learned how to create Bitmoji Classrooms. Bitmoji Classrooms are a tool that allows for active learning within the classroom. These Bitmoji Classrooms can be used for studying, brain breaks, teaching new knowledge, or classroom games. My favorite thing about Bitmoji Classrooms is the way they can be customized to the teacher's preferences!

    Below I have attached a few of the different Bitmoji Classrooms I have created (feel free to use any of these resources):

Big Move = Learning to Garden

    For the last 3 summers, I have subscribed to a local florist's weekly flower subscription. The weekly drop off's were such an uplifting joy. This summer is a little bit different for me. This past March, my boyfriend and I made the move out to his family farm. There are so many pros to "farm life" but my favorite... the garden space!  I love flowers and I want to grow my own produce. Growing my own produce will be more cost-effective and allow for a stronger appreciation of the food we eat.   This is my first time ever having a garden.  I didn't have a garden space at my childhood home or in the extremely small suite we lived in prior to our move to the farm. I didn't have a garden space at my childhood home. I have never gardened any fruit or vegetable. I have gardened flowers in the past but on a WAY smaller scale than I will this summer. I have attached a photo below of the size of my future garden (and the gorgeous Saskatchewan skies).       I also hav

Maintaining My Flower Pots

 Hi all!     I recently have done a bit of research in regard to maintaining my flower pots since it's the only crop I currently have right now. Four of the flower pots I have created have petunias in them. I have come to realize they have quite a bit of maintenance. I have found myself outside slowly picking away at my flower pots to perfect them. After some thought, I realized I actually had zero ideas about what I was doing so this is how this blog bost came to bloom (see what I did there).  - What is the correct way to deadhead petunias?       Thanks to Homes and Garden ,  I know all the steps of how to deadhead a Petunia flower. Although it's pretty straightforward, there are some techniques. The correct way to deadhead a Petunia begins with ensuring the flower is dead. If the flower is drooping and strived up, it is time to remove the dead flower.  First, you will need to decide if you want to remove the dead flower with your fingers or a garden tool such as scissors.

Gardening Is My JAM

Welcome back!     As I write this blog post, the sun is shining down on my empty and wet garden bed. In the last 4 days, we have received roughly 2 inches of rain. I had planned to put my garden in this past weekend but, the rain has resulted in a very muddy garden space. The forecast for the next few days is calling for sunshine so I am hoping the sunny days that approach will dry my garden up. If this is the case, the garden will be put in this weekend! So while the rain poured down, I decided to do some planning and research for my garden space. For my planning, I used the Google Tool, Jamboard . So, here is my review:     I may be one of the only Education Students who has never used Jamboard. I have heard about Jamboard within classes and classroom experience but I have never created one. As I navigated around this new tool, I found a few pros and cons. Pros: - I enjoyed the fact that Jamboard had a Google Image extension. I am a HUGE visual learner and will often use photos or dr
