Final Reflection
Final Reflection
There have been so many interesting and fun things that I have learned throughout this summer about technology and the apps and programs that we can use to help our students learn and grow. I had fun experimenting and trying out a bunch of different tools and I even stepped off onto my own and did one that we didn't do for the course. Here is the link and QR code for my reflection of this summer using the website Book Creator.
I am most excited about implementing the comic books as my students love graphic novels and many of their favorite writing assignments this year was when I allowed them to caption comics that were done and making their own. I can see how this can be utilized across many different subject areas and I am looking forward to sharing with my teaching team about the things that they might want to try for this school year. As someone who doesn't have a great eye for design, I found that I enjoyed putting my limited artistic skills to use. The infographic was a challenge as I don't always see how things flow together but I really enjoyed giving it a go with the help of templates. There are so many realms in which students can find their passion and joy in education and I'm looking forward to sharing these new avenues in the classroom and in my future library.
Food For Thought Article
Technology is not the easiest thing to adapt to as it changes by the day and can be intimidating if you don't know what you are doing and don't have a lot of experience with it. Jen Hatmaker makes many good points about meeting people where they are and going from there. We are all in a learning community together no matter where we are as technology gives us a boundless amount of opportunity to work with those around the world. I am looking forward to being a resource for my group of people and hopefully one day spreading my knowledge and joy to others around the world.
