Threads to Keepsakes: My Sewing Tale and Reflections
Sewing 101: Well, my sewing journey was a success. It was wild, Difficult, Frustrating, Enjoyable, Mindless, Rewarding and timeless. I found that this was one of the coolest things I have ever been able to do for myself. I have this class to thank for that. This whole process went from me stepping into the world of sewing not having a single clue what I was doing. I started by setting up the machine. Sewing various materials together. Fixing torn…
Networking + Supporting Eachothers Learning
One thing that I really enjoyed about this class is that we got to see into the world of others learning. The learning project opened a door for us to 1. Learn a new skill via the internet 2. Watch others do the same. I liked watching where people started their journey and where they ended their journey. I believed that throughout this process I was able to comment 3-5 comments a week. I loved going to check out where…
Tools For Future Me
I chose the AI tool Duolingo. I chose this tool because recently in our school we have had many immigrant students join us. They are very limited in speaking English. This was a huge struggle for them… and honeslty the teachers too. We had one teacher that spoke Spanish. Which was great for those families… but we had numerous other families that spoke other languages as well. Also, it wasn’t that teachers job to help all of the other classrooms….
Sewing a Fathers Day Gift
When I started this project at the beginning of the semester my end goal was going to be something similar to this sweater. I have always wanted to be able to create something sentimental and I finally had the chance to do so. Before starting the fathers day gift for my fiance I wanted to do a practice run on a sweater… and thank goodness I did. Wow. Here is a picture presentation on my gift idea trial run. I…
access to anything and everything
As I think about last class I focus alot on the question Katia asked regarding “Should we fire someone because of something they did on the internet in the past”. I feel like I voiced my strong opinion on this… but I think that one: it depends the situation, two: I don’t think that something you did in the past should always affect your future. Unless you went to jail for it… then that offence was obviously a bit more…
Code Monkeying Around
I chose to do “Code Monkey”! What a fun little code game. I attached a video of my experience. I want to note that I didn’t do any work on the “Code Monkey” before I started recording. I wanted to get a raw recording of me trying it for the first time. All I did was get super frustrated that when I typed in ____ amount of steps the monkey would hardly move. Like 20 steps and the Monkey moved…
Real or Fake… Who knows anymore?
When we think of digital literacy we have to acknowledge that what we are seeing online isn’t always true. So that means as teachers we have to know that what we see online isn’t always true… and we have to teach that. YES 1000% harder said then done. The people creating this fake news is getting incredibly good at it. I found during last class when we had to guess “real or fake” I struggled…. I was more often than…
So You think you can Sew?
This week was an interesting week for my learning project. I jumped from playing around with materials to actually creating things. This week I worked on making pot holders. It was WAY harder than I thought it was going to be… welcome to my adventure. Here is a video of my experience So I started by getting my materials together. I measured and cut different materials. (I just used old dresses and clothes that either don’t fit me anymore…
Opening Our Students Eyes to a Safe Online World
Oh wow. What a great question. “How do I plan to approach digital citizenship in my future classroom?”… Here is the thing. I want to understand my own digital citizenship first. I truly struggle in this area, I grew up with technology, so I don’t have a great understanding of digital citizenship.. more of an understanding of the apps themselves. I watched ‘The Social Dilema’ that Dr. H recommended us to watch. It really opened my eyes to how much…
