My summary of Learning in EDTC300
I hope you enjoy the attached link sharing key highlights of things I have learned in this course. Thank you 🙂
“If I could turn back time” – Community Involvement
Alright, this is another area in this class that could have used some fine tuning. I will definitely admit that my involvement in the community was quite undesirable and I cannot remember if I commented on many posts at the start of the semester and I am unsure if there is a way to see whose posts I’ve commented on… I did not listen to Katia’s suggestion to keep track of blogs we commented on until I was trying to…
“So long, Farewell” – Post #11
How is it the end of the semester already?!? It feels very surreal that I am at the very end of the very last semester of University. I am not even sure where this semester went! I work full-time as an assistant director at the daycare in the town I live in and for the better part of this semester I was also coaching Sr. Basketball. With school and basketball being over now… I am not sure what I will…
tiktok made me do it…. post #10
I had to do it… TikTok was my last and final resource to check out for this learning project. I decided to look at this through pure coincidence and really it was always right there. When I am avoiding homework or housework… work work.. I end up scrolling through the many quick rips online. It is a dark worm hole as we (most) all know. Instant satisfaction. Then , possibly due to everything I have been searching for in my…
“Technoligic”
I remember the last semester of year three how excited everyone in the class was about this buzzing new website that could do anything for you and turnitin wouldn’t even recognize it!! Could this be real?! We were all so excited because as university students who are also working, coaching, playing sports, taking music lessons, being human beings to any degree… this was going to open up so much more of our time!! After this, I went home for a…
“Learn ASL” app – post #9
The Learn ASL app is one that I did not have a lot of positive things to say about. If it were one of my first resources I might have been wowed more by it but it mainly is a list of of words that you can click on. I like in my last post the list of words having an autoplay feature because then I wouldn’t have to individually click on each word to see the video to learn…
“[Un]bury a Friend”
This blog post is all about what I found on a coworker named Hailea Wesgate. The first thing I found that stood out and found to be more than hilarious was the image searches. I figured with her unique spelling of her name that I wouldn’t get a whole lot of random photos of people but never did I assume I would find water pumps! Her social media profiles that came up were Facebook and Instagram. I could not find…
A free ASL course online – Post #8
What I am learning that I didn’t assume at the beginning of this, is that there are quite a lot of free resources online for teaching ASL! With this website: startasl.com, I love that is has this getting started video for all the people starting to use the site. Learning a new language can be quite daunting on its own, let alone trying to navigate through the websites you’re trying to find to learn said language with. I feel like…
“Age of the Machine”
Teaching cyber literacy is something that should be done for every member of society today! There should be mandatory courses for every human who touches a computer because the number of cyber-illiterate people in society is too many—more than what should be allowed!! Now that more and more of the world is going digital, knowing how to navigate that life is going to be more necessary than what our society shows we are capable of currently. Unfortunately, we have control…
Children’s Songs – Post #7
If I can be honest, I dreaded this whole learning project thing… now that I am deep into it, I am loving it!! I was really worried about not finding forums, apps, and platforms to learn from because of the struggles I have had in the past trying to teach myself songs on guitar. But I feel like I have been having a lot of great success with this journey, and I am looking forward to what I can learn…
