Topic 11 – Digital Devices
This week we discussed the duality of cellphone use when learning. Are they actually able to help with homework? Or are they still just an unnecessary distraction? When we began covering the potential benefits of cellphone use when learning, the Arduino Science Journal was brought up. The Arduino Science Journal is an application that utilizes […]

This past week we had Brittany Johnson in to talk about her career, experience with technology, and how she manages in current kindergarten classroom. I really liked that we got to discuss the importance of implementing inquiry in early education. I was definitely sceptical at first because its hard to ask much of anything from […]

This week we covered computational thinking and coding in the classroom. Computational thinking refers to a specific type of the problem solving that involves coming up with a solution that both humans and computers can understand. What does that look like? If a solution is to be understood by both humans and computers, then the […]

This week we talked about evaluating technologies. During our discussion we were presented with the SAMR Theory and the TPACK model. These two tools are designed to help individuals classify and dissect different technologies. This is a photo of the sketchnoting practice and note scenario we did in class. I chose to cover french vocab […]

This week we covered accessibility in the classroom and how to make every students learning experience as similar as possible. In this class, we specifically talked about accessibility tech and how to make our own online teaching material available to more than just able body students. After the lecture, we looked at a software called […]

This week we covered the process that goes into using a 3D printer and how to make 3D creations of our own. Both 3D designs and 3D printing have endless possibilities to be utilized in the classroom. If there’s a little creativity involved, I can’t think of a subject this can’t be incorporated into. Regardless […]

This week we covered generative artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications in the classroom. From both a student and teacher perspective, we discussed the pros and cons of AI use in various learning environments. Majority of this topic consisted of the do’s and don’ts regarding AI and where the line should be drawn in an […]

In class this past Friday, we covered H5P and other tools for multimedia learning. H5P is a tool that allows a content creator (in this case an educator) to make a video interactive via pop-up quizzes, fill-in-the-blanks, word searches, etc. These interactive add-ons can bring more value to online learning and information retention. Do I […]

This week we watched “Most Likely to Succeed,” a documentary highlighting the pros and cons of both the traditional school system and a more modern student-led approach. This film does well to address the fact that our conventional education system is very old and has not seen a serious renovation in a long time. With […]
