I am going to hit you with both of the final products in this one, so be prepared! To start: The Summary of Learning I have enjoyed this class, and the content, so much! As I mention in my video, it just feels so timely, and it was great...

This week’s (or rather, week 10’s) focus was digital literacy in our schools, and the impact on schooling and students. In Andrea’s presentation, and I’ve linked to her blog here, she spoke a lot about the importance of really integrating technology into our classrooms, and one thing that she...

I downloaded TikTok almost a month ago, and for the first two weeks, I think I logged in twice? Once I played with my user pic, and somehow ended up with an AI generated picture of me that didn’t actually look anything like me? And the second time I...

When I was in Grade 11, my sister in first-year university, she had a professor that was posting his slides online, and he expected students to print them out to bring to lectures. Doesn’t sound overly crazy to us now, maybe, though people would probably have a personal device...

This week’s topic of discussion is integrating digital citizenship into our classes, and I think the common thread that ran between all three videos was that we already are discussing a lot of issues that also tie into digital citizenship, so we’re not asking teachers to tag on a...

Hey! So, this coming week is where Josh and I are kickstarting things as content catalysts. Before I get into this, can I just say that I’m not sure that I actually wanted to tackle this the first week of student-led presentations – I usually like to sit back...
