Hello my EDCI 337 peers! My name is Amira El-Hafi and I’m a third year psychology student at UVIC. I’m taking this course as an elective as I was super interested in learning more about the different types of media that are able to be used to engage individuals in learning. I took EDCI 338 last semester and loved learning about PLNs and their involvement in similar fields! In terms of my academic interests, I’m most interested in child and adolescent psychology, and am eager to learn the ways in which media can be involved in a child’s education!

In my free time, I love grabbing coffee or treats with friends, which we often take to go to enjoy the beautiful scenery Victoria has to offer by taking walks by the beach (even when the weather is less favourable haha). I also love going on hikes and attend several hot yoga classes each week. Between work and school its so nice to have space within the week to clear my mind and move my body!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone more and communicating in the learning pods!
