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.
Everybody can
obtain benefit of proper online organization anytime easily. There are multiple
options to organize online data.. Last year during ICT class, I learned to apply
Data Curation. The great possibility to obtain and storage information in a safe
account are the benefits of Curation.
Develop data curation
in the school allow the students to research, consult, identify, and file information
easily. For curation we can use websites such as Symbaloo, and Evernote that
for me are some of the best websites for data curation. In the classroom this
websites are tools to identify, obtain, modified, use, storage and maintain
data safety.
The new fabulous experience I acquired last Tuesday during the Internet for Educators class. We had the opportunity of realizing online class applying the synchronous using the Zoom platform conference to share audio and video online. Step by step our Instructor Nantais explained and described the tools that we need to use Zoom. In my opinion, it was positive, that the instructor gave us some instructions before the conference because it allows us to prepare the class so we could improve our participation during the practice quiz, and group discussion. With this methodology, I learned how to use Zoom conference in the class.
I used Zoom to prepare classes and share information, but with the synchronous class I learned how to use Zoom conference so I can use it with the students, Thank you Instructor Nantais for this conference.
The explanation of the next assignment about how to apply Voiced Thread and share online information is a good example of asynchronous and continues the students’ participation. The democracy, culture, internet, and education are changing, because the easiest way of communication is the internet that is affecting the human behavior, because the internet is controlling the human time activities, and we decide how to use it. I found interesting the next videos.
Last week, we received Professional and appropriate information, step by step and detailed about how to use Online Distance Education in Manitoba. In the website State of the Nation: K-12 eLearning in Canada we can obtain information of provinces and territories about the current state of distance, online and blended learning (e-learning)
InformNet Manitoba and Wapaskwa are virtual collegiate with online programs that are keys and tools for home students to develop their skills and complete their studies. The speaker explained that those websites connect teacher and students in online virtual classes. Also, the teachers could create, plan, develop and assess a virtual class for the students.
WBC
The most outstanding part for me of the conference of distance learning was the Blackboard Collaborate, because it is a great tool for the teacher to prepare online lesson plans, assessment, and virtual activities. This website contains information of Manitoba curriculum of all subjects, information that is and will be of great help for us as future teachers.
Key to a Success Online Courses
Edmodo is a safe social network for learning where teachers can be in contact with students and parents. The teacher can post information such as assignments, projects, grades, school messages, and tips for study. I think this website could be a helpful tool for teachers in and outside the classroom.
After this conference, I felt comfortable, because I learned that Canada and particularly Manitoba are supporting distance education.
Every day, education is improving with technology! Yeah!
Dr. Alec Courus, using Zoom conferencing, explained different ways of technology, that as teachers, we should learn and use today in the classroom. Dr. Courus share some professional and personal examples of some dangers that people can face when using internet platforms.
The new generation is born and lives surrounded by technology; for example, 92% of US toddlers have a digital footprint, 34% have a digital footprint before birth, and 59% kids under 10 years old have a social account. In and out the schools, online information obtained easily in Google and YouTube are the more popular for study.
The internet business technology domain the information, content and smart devices that today are used in schools. Changes in technology are fast and they could be good or bad, but depends on us the way we use it.
With the online conference, we understood exactly, how identity thief or impersonation of personal accounts happen, so we can take special care with unknown people online and avoid online social problems
Safe information and fake information and how that can affect the privacy with the cyberbullying that can attack anybody using social media internet platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and others. thanks, Dr. Courus for share this information, because as teachers it is our responsibility to guide and inform to students the risks that they face with the use of technology and what is the safe way to use it.
