Leading on the Edge. Teaching Brock University Courses. February 1, 2016. When NOT to use Minecraft in the Classroom. I do not share this post with the intent to judge others in their attempts to educate students by using specific tools. Instead, I want to encourage critical thinking, reflection and discussion. I share it as a way to ask for support and guidance as to when we should be using Game-Based tools to engage and teach certain content. I struggle with incorporating the popular. Let me be clear h...

Leading on the Edge. Teaching Brock University Courses. April 6, 2015. Be PROUD of that “Minecraft Teacher” label (or whatever the label)…. A couple of days ago, I read a couple tweets from a teacher that was voicing thoughts about being labelled as a Minecraft teacher, rather than an Innovative teacher that uses many engaging and creative tools including Minecraft. I looked back through the Twitterverse, but couldn’t find the tweets again. Do we take the time to sift through our assumptions, to get to k...

Leading on the Edge. Teaching Brock University Courses. March 24, 2015. What inquiry looks like in a classroom with no bells, no subjects and no interruptions…. Problems that Matter…. Where our Inquiry Started…and never ended. Where I co-teach with Beth Carey at the Enrichment and Innovation Centre (geared for Gifted Students at the HWDSB), these stipulations do not exist. A few things are important to note about our program and its uniqueness compared to a traditional classroom setting. For the most par...

Tales of An Optimist: The Physical Environment and it's impact on learning
http://kristyluker.blogspot.com/2016/01/the-physical-environment-and-its-impact.html
Monday, 25 January 2016. The Physical Environment and it's impact on learning. In September of last year I started a new position within the HWDSB. At the Enrichment and Innovation Centre. I knew the job would be different as soon as I had stepped through the door. Why? Because of the obviously different arrangement of the physical learning space. The Centre looks like no other classroom that I have ever worked in. The personality of the educator. Or the pedagogy used by the educator. We are a maker space.
