Digital Citizenship In The Classroom
Technology, more specifically the internet, is intertwined into every aspect of human life, whether we realize it or not. For this reason, I think digital citizenship should be a topic that is addressed throughout children’s education rather than subscribing to an “abstinence-only” (Jergenson, 2012) model that deprives students of information and education that is essential…
Trash to Treasure: Discard English Muffins
You were hoping for a post about Hermione, weren’t you? I get it, I kinda left you on a cliffhanger last week. I promise there will be a Hermione post next week. A very happy post at that!! Since Gerri was destined for the trash, I figured I’d at least make use of her discard…
Confused and Discouraged
Now isn’t that a title that just draws you in and makes you want to read more? Ugh I wish I had better news this week, but unfortunately, I do not. This time I followed this recipe from Gigi on Tiktok to the T. Ok, maybe not EXACTLY to the T because my scale maxed…
A Geriatric Millennial’s Take on Participation
I feel like I should start by apologizing to anyone who found the title a bit jarring (unfortunate supporting evidence). It is hard for me to accept as well, but I think it’s important for the context of this post. As a geriatric millennial, I have experienced firsthand how the world has changed with the…
IT’S BAKING DAY!!!
Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for; it’s time to bake some sourdough bread! I’ve been so focused on getting the starter going that I hadn’t actually put a whole lot of research into the recipe I was going to use to bake my bread. After a quick scour of the internet, I…
NOBODY BREATHE!!!
Ok, if you must breathe, please make it slow and controlled. No sudden movements!!! I think….and I hope I’m not jinxing this….Gerri might be ready to bake with! To be honest, I wasn’t exactly sure I was going to get to this point. When I restarted Gerri, it seemed like she wasn’t growing much the…
I was doing well….until I wasn’t
I’m going to start this week on a positive note because it’s going to go downhill real fast. I’ve decided to name my starter, Gerri. My kids like to name every random critter we find, Jerry, so I decided to go with their suggestion but changed it to Spice Girl spelling because this starter is…
Insights on the InShot video editor app
This week I decided to use the InShot app to create a video for my learning blog. This app also has the ability to edit photos, and while I appreciate when an app can serve multiple functions, this wasn’t something I utilized. Maybe next time! To get started download the app from the App Store…
Getting my gas in gear!
Today is the day that I begin the most intimidating part of this process, making my starter. Part of my hesitation comes from what I’ve heard from others who have tried to make their starters from scratch. A good friend of mine tried, and she and her husband ended up not feeling so great after…
You can judge, it’s ok
There is something about being asked to consider my daily tech habits that instantly makes me nervous and a little ashamed. We all know that being on our devices all day isn’t great for us, but so much of our lives, especially as students and teachers, relies on the digital world. Okay, that was my…
