78 13.2 Positionality Statement

I am an Arabic woman who immigrated to Canada, facing challenges like re-adapting, accepting diverse cultures, raising kids, finding a career, and speaking a different language. I incorporated technology into my study in a variety of ways. In the Educational Support program, I utilized a variety of platforms to enhance my learning outcomes. In my final year’s assignment, I created an E-portfolio as an electronic library for my study resources and research, and I included Pinterest, which was a huge step because it allowed me to pin any research or apps into organized boards. In the future, I hope to provide more valuable free features for those platforms in order to involve as many community members as possible, particularly for platforms that might help students better their academic performance. For example, as a mother of an English Language Learner, free access to digital e-books is quite limited, and the quality of the free books given is low. On a platform like Raz Kids eBook, I have to pay to access the required book level to gain the benefits of integrating technology into education.
