Digital Citizenship
Digital technology is becoming more involved in K-12 classrooms each and every year. More students are online in schools today than ever before and even young students in elementary schools are online. The technology is fantastic and allows students to learn in ways they never could before, however this may cause problems, especially within younger…
New Sources For Signing
In the last blog post I wrote about how I found a new source for me to learn from in the coming weeks and this week I tried it and it was great! Signlanguage101 is a great website made by Dr. Byron Bridges, who is not only deaf, but has a PhD in linguistics and…
Switching it Up
This post is a little late but this week I have spent learning a little bit but also trying to find other sources to learn from. For the most part, I have been learning ASL from an app called American Sign Language. For beginners it was okay, allowing me to learn the ASL alphabet as…
Maya Hee Maya Hoo
I hope this song is stuck in your head, as after watching An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube for this blog, it is definitely stuck in my head. With that in mind we were asked to use this video to reflect on our changing world and the new culture of participation. With technology advancing every year,…
That is a (Ka)hoot!
This week we were tasked with finding an app or tool he haven’t used before in order to document the process made in our learning project. As you could probably guess from the title, I chose to use Kahoot. An idea I had after seeing some of the ideas posted was to make flash cards…

Twittering Away
Being new to Twitter, the Saskedchat was a very cool experience to be a part of. At the beginning of this class I was not a huge fan of twitter, I did not really see the point. I wasn’t interested in all the meaningless tweets about someone’s day or something else. So, I was pleasantly…
Back to Kindergarten
This post is a little late but better late than never. This past week I focused on memorizing the ASL alphabet and numbers 1 to 10 and I surprised myself because I did a lot better than I thought I would. I now know the entire alphabet but I am still working on fully memorizing…
Apps for ASL
This week was not nearly as productive as I would’ve liked. With many complicated assignments that took a ridiculous amount of time in other classes, I did not start to learn ASL as I wanted too. However with a bit of research I have a more fleshed out plan as well as resources to use.…
Learning Feedly
This week we were tasked with using Feedly in order to find new blogs to read and learn from, and it is so easy to do! There are so many options for anyone looking to read blogs, no matter your interests. For me I decided to look for educational technology blogs, for obvious reasons and…
