Over this semester, I have taken up learning (or attempting to learn) ASL for my EDTC 300 learning project. I have used many resources and learned various signs and information regarding ASL. Below, I will go through my learning in each week. I had a little rating system for...

I have very much enjoyed learning and growing through this semester with all of my classmates in EDTC 300. Overall, I tried to participate and contribute to the learning of others to the best of my abilities. Although, looking back, I could have interacted with other’s weekly blog posts...

Hey everyone! Below, you will find the video I created to summarize the main topics and ideas I have learned in EDTC 300 this semester! I hope you enjoy the video! *Also, my video is 6 minutes and 15 seconds, but the last 15 seconds are just me saying...

I decided to play with Magic School AI to see what I could get it to do for me from an education and teacher standpoint, and let me say I had fun playing with it.  For example, I saw the Song Generator feature, and I wanted to see if...

The ASL Bloom App was basically the same as the app I used last week called Lingvano. They work basically the same way by testing your knowledge as you are learning it and introducing new knowledge throughout the lessons. One thing I liked best about Lingvano compared to ASL...

In my previous post Mandated Digitial Citizenship Education in the Classroom. I talked about how I think teaching cyber safety and digital citizenship in the classroom could be a step in the right direction in preventing things like The Amanda Todd Case and other situations like that.  I am...

So If you haven’t realized from my title I did an Hour of Coding with the Grinch. I love Christmas and I absolutely love the Grinch (and the Grinch scene I referenced in my title), so I was pretty excited to find this. I still have very little clue...

I decided to try out Lingvano this week to learn ASL. I think my phone was listening to me because after talking about my ASL learning project with a friend, many ads for the Lingvano App started showing up on my social media. I thought, why not try it...

I googled “creative ways to learn ASL” and the Start ASL website on the article The Best Songs in Sign Language. So I decided to to wach some of the songs and see if I could pick up any sign language from the songs/videos in that article. I decided...

This week I decided to use songs on YouTube, which are intended to help ASL learning, such as the ones I have linked below: Baby Language Song (ASL) By Miss Patty Baby Language Song (ASL) #2 By Miss Patty                                              Hi Hey Hello Greeting Song with ASL Work Together with...

The first time I remember talking about something even remotely close to ‘cyber safety’ and digital citizenship was in grade 6. In my classrooms, I had been using computers since about grade 2 and iPads since I was in grade 4. However my grade 6 cyber safety talk was...

I decided to use Read Alouds, which also has ASL featured in videos on EdPuzzle, such as the ones I have linked below: “Hey, That’s My Monster!” “How I Met My Monster” “Knuffle Bunny” “How The Elephant Got Its Trunk” Check out the video below to see what signs...

This is a large and everchanging topic/question, which makes it difficult to answer. What I think the culture of participation means now for my future classroom may change in 2 to 5 years.  First I think technology and the idea that it is always changing and ‘improving’ (I put...

Okay, so for this week’s learning post, I used videos I found on EdPuzzle to continue on my ASL learning journey. I found EdPuzzle a couple of weeks ago when we were challenged to use a new platform we had never used before. Check out my previous post about...

If you have not already figured it out I found a new website I really like called EdPuzzle. I also enjoyed continuing my ASL journey – but I enjoyed EdPuzzle more. I have decide not to try out a new website to learn ASL from but decided to watch...
