WHO: KRISTA GOULDING
WHERE: BISHOP FEILD ELEMENTARY TWITTER: @KRISTAGOULDING
Krista Goulding has been a teacher and administrator with the Newfoundland Labrador English School District for 18 years
Throughout her career, her focus has been to deliver meaningful and impactful lessons and experiences to her students Leveraging digital technology has become a driving force and mechanism to help empower student voice The makerspace at Bishop Feild Elementary is a place of expression, creativity and deep learning
Students are empowered to demonstrate achievement of their understanding and course learning goals through choice.
Project Highlight
Bishop Feild Elementary is a school in the downtown area of St John's, NL The Irish and English influence in the historic St John's area is evident as it is the oldest English-founded city in North America. Many of the buildings are designated heritage sites and Bishop Feild Elementary is the oldest school building in NL, having been founded in 1844 Ms Krista Goulding took advantage of the location of the school and, along with the Grade 6 students, took a walking tour of the downtown area to take photos and videos of the historic buildings for maker inspiration The students chose one of the buildings to create in their school makerspace using techniques and tools of their choice including clay, cardboard paper, 3D printing, Minecraft and more!
