Artifact 3 and Google Sharing Permissions

So I now have all three of my artifacts up and going and can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/mrbergseducationalportal/welcome-to-educ5203.

One problem I encountered was that I had not set my videos to be public on the web through my Google Drive. I had checked to see if the videos worked but realized thanks to my prof. that I could see them because I was signed into my Google Drive account but no one else would be able to.

I think this is a great example/learning point that for every three things I learn, I may end up overlooking one. With technology, it is hard to know everything and this will continue to be a learning process. One of the things I have found with this course is the need to take time to invest and play around with the different technologies. Other courses of a more traditional read and write variety, I know what I am doing. I have to read new information, gather sources, edit and write. While it also takes time, I know how to do it. With this course, I still need to read and do research but also take time just to explore the technology. It can sometimes feel like I am not being productive or I am working slowly because at the end of a couple of hours I may not have actually created much but I have learned new skills.

When I was creating my third artifact I took a while to play around with the different feedback options, content additions, and what the results could look like. I initially thought I would make my artifact in 30 minutes but found that I needed more time to really understand all the different ways I could use Google Forms. An hour and a half later and I found myself still playing around with it.

My goal for today is to polish up and finish my resource depot and start thinking about my Curriculum Integration Report

Curriculum Integration Report- Still Going

I sat down last Saturday with a full day ahead of me to start working on the Curriculum Integration Report, thinking that after having done most of the research and putting together resources throughout Module 1 it would not take longer than a day or two. Well, I now realize I was dead wrong as it is Wednesday and I am sitting down for another session on working through it. I find that the more I work on it the more things I find I could add to it. I am hoping to have it finished today. The first thing I realized when I thought I had finished was I had not actually added anything about changing the curriculum. I had identified the issues and talked about how/why the internet has affected research and looked at potential ways teachers could fix the problem. By reading through the assignment outline and really thinking about the title of the assignment I realized I had missed a large section. So I had to rework how the presentation was put together and ensure that throughout it I was...

Setting up my Artifacts

I am currently working on three courses for my masters while teaching 28 hours at an ESl acadamey. At the same time, I have been working to secure a teaching placement for next year, which has led to me writing and sending about 40-50 cover letters and emails. All this to say that I found myself busier than I had initially planned. I have been using several online apps I learned because of this course in my teaching and in some of my other courses. As of yet I have not had time to put together my specific artifacts but I feel I have already learned how to use them. So just to link them here, I plan on using Pear Deck, Screencastify, and Google forms to show which skills/technology I have learned. https://www.peardeck.com/ https://www.screencastify.com/ I have also been looking at doing something with Make Belief Comic or Padlet https://www.makebeliefscomix.com/Comix/ https://padlet.com/dashboard

Curriculum Report Finished/ Participating in a Discussion

Writing this on the 14th, I got my feedback on my Curriculum report and was quite happy with the feedback. As I work on finishing up my masters, I find I look and read more about the specific feedback more than the mark. While the mark is important and gives context, when I get genuine feedback it helps me understand whether the goals I had for the assignment were clear to the reader. Some other courses I have taken have given either minimal feedback, or what seems like a standardized cut and paste feedback. Currently, I am participating in a discussion on technology to assist in writing. While the other participants are looking at the issue with younger students, I am coming at it after working with older students. I find it interesting that regardless of age, we are all looking to technology for an answer. I have been talking about Grammarly in that post, and I have used Grammarly and talked about Grammarly in so many courses now and to so many teachers/students. I'm sure we al...
