Summary of Learning
For our final summary of learning project, I grouped up with Kara Miskolczi and Paige Hamann. With all of us working together on Google Docs, and video chatting on Google Meet, we put our brains together to create this awesome video! Kara showed us Biteable which we used to make the animations and make our…
Final Networked Learning
Our final post is about how we have contributed to the learning of others in the class this semester. Whether it be on twitter, slack, through blog comments, or some other mean. To start I have commented on blog posts throughout the semester. Some comments include commenting on Jesse’s coding blog post, commenting on Logan’s…
The End of ASL (but not really)
This is my final blog post about learning ASL over the course of this semester, and wow, it has gone by quick! As interesting as it was to learn ASL this semester, I am looking forward to this break coming up. But I am going to try to continue my learning, and maybe one day…
People and The Body
This week I went over lesson 6 on SignLanguage101, “People, The Body & Clothes”. And although learning the signs for clothes can be useful, I found the signs of people to be the most useful part of this lesson. Learning signs like “man”, “woman”, “father”, “mother”, etc. It was good to know these signs, especially…
Making My Own Game
For our coding project this week I decided to do the Hour of Code and make my own little game using the program. The game involved using moving your sprite around the screen, avoiding enemies and collecting items. I got to design the game, including the background and sprite, as well as the enemies and…
Fake News
Fake news is a bigger problem than ever before due to social media and how information is spread. Everyone has that friend on Facebook sharing articles that just don’t seem accurate. It is because information is so easily accessible and so easily shared today that causes fake news to spread like wildfire. We know that…
ASL Lesson Five and Counting
This week I continued my lessons on SignLanguage101 with Lesson 5, “Around the House & Hobbies”. This lesson taught words that would be used around the house such as “living room” or “kitchen”, as well as typical words one would use talking about hobbies, such as “ball” or “ice skating”. As well it went through…
Stalking a Classmate Online
This week was a weird week as our task for our blog post was to cyber sleuth a fellow classmate and see what we were able to find about them. This task was to show us how much information about you is actually online, because it is more than people realize. My partner for this…
ASL Common Phrases
After a well needed break, I’m back on SignLanguage101 and watching Lesson 4 “Antonyms and Common Phrases”. I know I keep repeating myself in these posts but I love that what is taught in these lessons is useful in everyday life. Some common phrases covered were “what happened”, “don’t like”, and simpler ones like “which”…
Continuing to Progress
This weeks post is very late, but sometimes life comes first and that is okay. This past week I continued using SignLanguage101 and watched the next lesson titled “Everyday Signs and Common Objects”. I know I have said this before but I really appreciate that this website teaches words and phrases that are actually used…
