Hello everyone, my name is Jaxon Roorda and welcome to my blog!
Some basics about me are that I am nineteen years old, I am Metis and Dutch, and I have lived in Victoria my entire life. My interests include sports, music, movies, world history, local indigenous history and geopolitics. This year will be my second year at UVIC, and I’ve been really enjoying it so far! Being in teaching-focused classes instead of the general courses we had to attend last year has been awesome. It has also been a pleasure meeting all my new professors and everyone in my cohort; you have all been so kind and welcoming.
In terms of my technological capabilities, I would say I’m relatively proficient. I grew up fortunate enough to constantly have technology around, so I’ve had tons of experience through the years. In the classroom, I believe technology to be crucial. I say this because technology provides so many different avenues for learning for all students. I hope that through this class, I will be able to expand my technological capabilities and learn new ways to engage my students.
As for my blog, I plan to answer the question: What are the best takeout spots in and around Victoria? I’ll do this by stopping into a new restaurant one to two times a week, and afterwards, I will reflect/review my experience with the restaurant. If you have any good spots, please let me know!
Thanks for reading my first blog:)
