For me, one amazing resource is a channel on the YouTube platform. YouTube #Education has videos of different educational fields such as social studies, science, grammar, mathematics, etc. This channel contains videos of Stanford University, PBS, TED, Khan Academy, among others. I have enjoyed discovering academic resources in this channel and I have used it on my placements. I shared it with my CTs and they have found it this channel useful. #Education permits exclusive access to educational content to avoid mistakes in the classroom.
AIso, I have used GoNoodle for early and middle years, this wonderful website of music videos is a proper motivation in the classroom to dance and do physical activities.

I would like to share these sub- section sites for teachers
Infographic is a visual helper that interrelate images and texts to communicate easily to understand Information with instantaneous interpretation using an infographic poster in the gymnasium of a healthy lifestyle. I think the infographic is a visual facilitator to understand and memorize information, we can develop specific information on any topic focused using photos and text information
In physical education, I am planning infographic information of nutrition plan, fitness plan, healthy exercise, heart rate activities, and healthy lifestyles activities I believe this is a good way for promoting the benefits of physical activities so the student can start to understand the impotence of practice physical activities I considered import too use QR to the students acquire the infographic and develop online connection.
Infographic can promote a nutrition plan including, definitions, one QR of Basal Metabolic Rate to recognize the amount calories that everyone can need daily and food benefits.
In my Physical education
class I could use this infographic:
The last Skype conference of
this course was presented by Dean Shareski, who believe stimulate curiosity in
the teachers will improve teaching and learning. He said, “If you are not
curious you might have a difficult time teaching”. I agree with this concept
because being curious wakes up our thoughts to feel and live the teaching and
learning experience. I am a curious person and during the conference, I
observed the T-shirt that Dean wore advertising Discovery Education Canada, so
after, I went online to investigate it. I discovered a website, useful for
teachers and students, where digital resources and activities can be found.
As teachers, we have to learn how to be curious. I think curious
teachers can make curious students and curiosity is a natural ability and
characteristic of humans that we forgot while we grow, but we can re-learn it.
To start, we can try new food, speak with an stranger, ask ourselves questions
about what is around us using the 6 Ws (What, Why, When, Where, Who and How), seek
and read a book about something that you found interesting, look at the small
things of every day and discover something beautiful on them, learn things
(when you have knowledge, you can have new ideas), take risks and do not fear
failure, because as Dean said, curiosity makes learning very joyful.
Edublogger was a new experience that I enjoyed. I have the fortune of finding and analyzing many blogs and videos of technology that I found in the education blog of Notosh, following its Twitter, Facebook and YouTube videos. I discovered the position that today educators assume a different stance towards technology in this blog.
The edublogger of Ewan McIntosh that I chose, contain his professional trajectory and current work. I like how he organized and develop his Edublogg. McIntosh shared his professional skills and educational experiences. This website shares his blogs of information using YouTube, Twitter, and Linked to explain his techniques and investigation to apply in the education the technology.
Ewan McIntosh is the founder of Notosh Limited, the company is the advisor of hundreds schools and technologies in the UK. I am sharing his education blog because I learned that the future of education goes hand in hand with technology. Currently, McIntosh and 21 Century LearningInternational are developing conferences in education technology around the world.
Here I post an example of McIntosh’s work and information:
December, 2016
How do you nudge teachers into online coaching? 2016 in Travel
Once again, I've analysed my year of travel to see if I'm any closer to reducing it year on year. It's an annual habit, and if often kicks off new ideas that might affect my team's next year of work. The good answer is: yes, there is less travel! And not just that, but having reduced the schlepping I do, I've been able to hire more amazing people to lead on our work, and celebrate one of NoTosh's best years ever in terms of the quality, quantity and breadth of work we're doing.

Created the Map courses, I Inquired, developed, planned, organized.
I put these topics into the map of course information. I believe this is a key serve
to link students and subject information using technology. Also, I agree with this planning application
map into PLE and PLN.
I’m sure that the use the Map course for the students will
be a great tool of study to them. Developing the map was a great opportunity to
create new ideas and planning differences strategies for the classes.
I tried to use different platform to create my map,
but to me Mindmeiser was adequate
An identity is related directly with experiences and
the goals one achieves. High school students compared to post-secondary
students have differences identities, achievements and future goals. In the
same way, their digital identity is affected by the things they post and do.
This identity can affect their academic background and their real identity.
Developing network connection and communication
skills using technology in every day life is easier for everyone in this age. Yet,
focusing the technology with academic purposes has some similarities and
differences according the academic background of the student.
Today making digital footprint are linked to build
the digital identity and citizenship for teacher students and citizens. This responsibility
of technology reflects the differences between these groups of students.
I have found these videos that I’ve found interesting.
Last Tuesday, we had a great experience: a Zoom Conferencing from Flin Flon
Manitoba. The instructor Daniel Dillon explained and shared professional and
personal experiences about his teaching around the world. His conference gave
me the opportunity to understand that students can acquire and develop their
own ideas using and applying technology in their projects. In my opinion the
project of 20 Time is a great opportunity for students to inquiry, create, invent,
develop, and implement projects to resolve problems or generate benefits for
the community. This kind of projects make
students to research, acquireand apply
knowledge with vision toward the real world.
I agree with the project of
Genius Hour in the classroom, because when students work in what they like,
they are more likely to enjoy school and acquire knowledge. The Genius Hour project
seeks to encourage students to examine their own creativity using tools such as
Google. This kind of projects promote student’s own learning in the classroom
leaving behind the traditional learning. Teachers motivate students to acquire authenticity
during the project. I consider that use this project in the classroom will
bring true advantages for the students.
I believe VR
technologyhas lots of information that we ignore, because we do not
have the professional equipment. Using VR technology in the schools will help
to improve inclusion and it is a good tool for the future of teaching.
