This is my summary of learning project. You can access the slides of my summary of learning on canva I used the recording option there to also add my voice over which I have translated into an MP4 file which I could only figure out how to add to youtube. The learning process continues on! I thought I would struggle to talk for 4 minutes about my learning, however I had to take out a lot of the information I was going to talk about so I do have presenter notes with my slides as well to express all of the learning I did this semester throughout the variety of resources…

As we enter December and EDTC 300 comes to a close, I want to acknowledge how I contributed to the learning of others throughout the semester.  First off, I want to acknowledge that I was having issues with my discord account, so I was in then out and back in but late to the party.  However, I tried to respond to questions on discord when I could. Oftentimes questions were asked during the workday while I was teaching so I was not able to respond, and the questions were already answered by several people. When I did have the opportunity I would offer some potential resources and answer clarifying questions…

There are a few AI tools I have already utilized and/or at least given a try. We have a group of ELA teachers at the school I am currently at that taught students how they can utilize AI tools including creating AI superheros, and asking a variety of AI chatbots questions then recording the information. Additionally I have used ChatGPT to help me understand specific concepts in math or other subjects that I do not primarily teach so I can take that information and help my kiddos with their assigned homework. I always joked asking “when will I ever use this math in real life”… Turns out, I had to…

I primarily work with high school students in grades 9 to grade 12. I am in a temporary position where I do not do much group teaching, rather I work in small groups or one-on-one. However, I do help a lot of my students with their research assignments and my amazing colleagues are great at running these lessons about combating fake news prior to when research takes place, especially for grade 9 kiddos.  I mean, we all know to avoid the pesky Wikipedia webpage because it is easily editable by anyone on the internet.  Hypothetically, I think we could easily spend a whole unit on teaching digital literacy- learning how…

I am struggling with this blog post, and not really sure where to take it. Since we are reflecting on topics considered in class, I am not sure whether there are guided questions that we should consider while thinking about topics such as cyber-vigilantism, cyber-shaming, and our digital footprints. So I guess I will just wing it! I believe that all these topics that were discussed can make for meaningful conversations to have with our students. We are very deep in the digital age and it is only going to progress and adapt in the future. Teaching students about their online presence is important so students truly understand the risks…

I believe there are many ways to approach digital citizenship in the classroom, which involves integrating the Ribble’s nine elements. I primarily work with high school students, I hope that over their years in school they have learned about digital safety, and responsibility, but these are still things I would integrate into an early lesson to refresh their memories. I am currently teaching in a supportive role, but when I did my internship I taught 2 sections of Health 9. The Health curriculum offers a lot of opportunity to discuss internet safety and students digital citizenship. There is a Decision making outcome where you could incorporate activities to enhance students understanding…
