This week my focus was on making thumbnails for YouTube videos, and what a better way to show my learning than by doing a screencast! I decided to download Loom onto my laptop and now when I wish to record my screen, I can click the little button at the top of my screen (which I circled in red). Clicking this button will open a menu where you can choose if you want to have your camera on or off…
After filming my first video I have learned that even a one minute video takes A LOT of work. This week I downloaded TikTok and followed the tutorial for using the app and creating content. For a first time app user it took a little playing around before I understood what all the effects and filters did, and how to record a voice over. Even though I would say for a first time video creator I was pretty successful, I…
The online platform I spend the most time on (for academic purposes) is Microsoft Word. Yes, I prefer Word over Google Docs. I use Word to write my many university assignments with, the only exception being group assignments. Even I will admit Google Docs makes it a lot easier to collaborate with others when working on an assignment.

I also think knowing how to film videos could be helpful as a teacher as I can create videos for my subs to play or…

Good afternoon everyone, Posted below is my summary of learning, hope you enjoy, and thanks for a great semester!
Think back on your experiences of the teaching and learning of mathematics — were there aspects of it that were oppressive and/or discriminating for you or other students? Looking back at my previous school experiences with math, I do not feel it was discriminatory towards anyone in terms of their culture, beliefs, etc… because in my school there was not much diversity in the demographic of our school, which was primarily white. If there was however, someone from a different…
How might we begin to address the ways in which the systems that we teach our curriculum in are intrinsically homophobic, transphobic, biphobic and oppressive towards queer and trans people? Within the “Deepening the Discussion” document, there is a whole list of things that an educator can do to address these issues, including: putting a focus on issues and not opinions, ask students to put themselves in the other person’s shoes rather than looking at it from their own perspective;…
