Thanks to Brian, Matt, and Kim for the extremely informative presentation. I am guessing there were challenges in researching this topic – seeing how new it is to education. You did an exemplary job of providing us with the most up to date information in this field. The statement – “the game is passing me […]
Coding and Makerspace could not have been further out of my comfort zone more, especially as a topic to present on in a grad class. On the list of topics provided, it was definitively my last choice. It became what we were “stuck” with. This was my initial reaction to this topic choice. However, it […]
Thank you to this week’s presenters for sharing so much valuable information with us regarding assistive technology. I appreciated that many items that some would never consider assisted tech – are in fact that. These include everyday items like eye glasses, certain furniture and hearing aids. My first experience with assisted tech goes back to […]
FLIP, formerly FlipGrid, is the technology assessment tool I choose to focus on and explore further. FlipGrid was something I became aware of during the pandemic.

There was a time not long ago where teachers had to book out the data projector for classroom presentations of any sort. We would roll it in and with a 50 ft cord – hook it up to the stand alone computer within the classroom. This process sounds easy but often there were tech difficulties […]
As a member of Generation X, some daytime TV shows provided countless hours of “edutainment” to children across the world. Sesame Street/Mr. Dressup/Romper Room/Friendly Giant/etc. were fixtures in homes with young children. In ways, these programs were ahead of their time. When looking back, these programs provided great motivation for children to learn. For homes […]
After this week’s lecture, I found myself reflecting on two stages of my teaching career. being a university student – planning lessons, mini-units, and units for pre-internship experiences and my internship. I thought back to this time and how our education profs were attempting to move teacher instruction away from traditional / behaviorist approaches to […]
