How I Contributed to the Learning of Others

How I Contributed to the Learning of Others

Comments 0 Comment

One of the biggest takeaways from this course was just how much we could learn with and from one another. It was more than just individual learning, it was collaborative, supportive, and deeply rooted in sharing. Throughout this course, I found myself constantly learning from my classmates diverse backgrounds and experiences, and I was grateful for the opportunity to share my own knowledge and ideas in return. Building a Shared Space for Learning This course felt like one big network;…

Final Learning Post: More Than Just Meal Prepping

Final Learning Post: More Than Just Meal Prepping

When I started this project, I thought it would just be about food; about saving a bit of money, eating a little healthier, and maybe trying a few new recipes along the way. Although as the weeks went on, I realized it was about a lot more than that, it became a process of self-discipline, of finding routines, and of learning what works for me, not just in the kitchen, but in life, and building habits for both my wife…

I’ve always encouraged my students to use their voice—to stand up for their thoughts and opinions in ways that are constructive, meaningful, and open to growth. Challenging ideas that don’t align with our own is an important part of learning, but it has to come with a willingness to listen, to reflect, and to try to understand opposing perspectives. We may not always agree, but when we approach each other with openness, there’s potential to learn from one another. Speaking…

Summary of Learning

Summary of Learning

What a course this has been! There were many topics that I had a general idea of and many that I didn’t – which allowed me to learn and grow as an educator in an ever evolving technological environment. I chose to present my learning in a new and different way by writing my summary of learning as a typed document then prompting ChatGPT to make a script that I could use to create an AI generated video. I loved…

LUMIERE AI in the Classroom: A New Era of Visual Learning

LUMIERE AI in the Classroom: A New Era of Visual Learning

Comments 3 comments

AI is reshaping education, and as teachers it is better to work with it instead of against it, because quite honestly it’s not going anywhere! I personally have dabbled in using text to image AI programs through Twinpics.AI, using this I was able to challenge students to use descriptive writing to match an image. Looking through the different Generative AI list, I wondered how much further it goes, and that’s when I decided to explore LUMIERE AI, a text-to-video and…

Chop, Edit, Serve: My iMovie Meal Prep Journey

This week I decided to experiment with iMovie to edit my Meal Prepping video. I’ve used iMovie before because it’s usually user-friendly, especially on my iPhone. However, I wanted to explore different resources to make cutting my video easier and cleaner. In the past, I would crop my clips directly in my phone before importing them into iMovie, but this time, I followed a tutorial to learn how to do it within the app. I’ve used Time Lapse before when…

Finding Meal Solutions When Life Gets in the Way

This past week, I was under the weather and just couldn’t bring myself to go grocery shopping or meal prep. Unfortunately, that led to more takeout than I had planned, blowing my budget and leaving me feeling unprepared for the week ahead. Even now that I’m feeling better, I still don’t have the motivation to meal prep, which means I’m scavenging for meals for the rest of the week. This got me thinking—what can I do when life throws me…

I evaluated OERCommons.org, a free open educational resource designed primarily for teachers and students. Its mission is to close the gap in education by providing accessible, high-quality educational materials, aligning with the belief that education is a fundamental human right. The platform even includes a FAQ document explaining what OER is, its purpose, and how it benefits both students and educators. User Experience and Navigation OERCommons is visually appealing, and had a clean and modern design that pulled me in. Navigation…

As a teacher, I’m always looking for new and engaging ways to teach writing in the classroom and I thought – they’re using AI already, why not use it to my advantage? Recently, an intriguing resource popped up on my Instagram feed that I just had to try—Twinpics.AI, an AI-generated writing challenge. The concept is simple yet engaging, writers are given an image and must craft a 200-character description, the AI then generates an image based on their description and…

Finally back on track this week! On Sunday, we went grocery shopping and grabbed everything we needed for meal prep. Plus, I scored some awesome new meal prep containers—bigger, better quality, and only $6.00 for 10 at Bianca’s Liquidation Center! We were using old restaurant containers and a pack of containers we got from Dollarama – so this is definitely an upgrade! I also picked up a food slicer and a slap-chop-style chopper, thanks to Mike’s recommendation. I found them…
