Artifacts 1 and 2 are up and ready

After thinking about this for a while I finally got around to uploading my first and second artifacts. My first one was about Screencastify, which I linked in my last post, and was fairly straightforward to record. For my second artifact, Pear Deck, I again had to use Screencastify to shoot a video of me explaining all the aspects of the technology. This one took a little longer to shoot because my internet was being slow and I felt that there are more features I wanted to highlight.

Artifact 1: https://sites.google.com/view/mrbergseducationalportal/welcome-to-educ5203/screencastify-artifact-1
Artifact 2: https://sites.google.com/view/mrbergseducationalportal/welcome-to-educ5203/pear-deck-artifact-2

It is nice to get these two complete. I find that the more I work on my website and the more I learn, the more I realize how much potential there is with this. I feel that this website will be something I can add to over the years and really work to make a great resource for me and my students.

Next steps for the course,

Complete artifact 3 on Google Forms.

Finish my resource depot on online plagiarism

Create a podcast about my curriculum integration progress report

And finally work on my professional growth plan

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...
