• I picked Jamboard to use since my students already use padlet for a project at the start of the semester and as I was exploring the options, Jamboard felt the most comparable and therefore comfortable to work with since I’ve worked with padlet for two semesters. I decided to explore Jamboard as a way to extend my current mini project that my students complete. My students use padlet as a tool to explore and explain specific pieces of literacy that have impacted their lives. I decided to do something similar, except look at how digital literacy impacts my day, with a focus on which apps I spend the time most time on.
• I did not look at the privacy policy because my Google account automatically set me up with Jamboard and I did not seek out to find out more information about it. I guess this means that I likely trust Google way too much with my life and my information!
• I didn’t sense any limitations while working with Jamboard other than I am so used to writing longer explanations and this seems a bit limited on Jamboard, although there is a textbox option to write more details.
• One thing that I really enjoyed is that once I got started, I found myself color categorizing and making size selections of pictures and text based on the type of app and the amount of time that I spend on the app.

Michelle,  I heard about both Jamboard and Padlet but I am not familiar with both tools.  Since you are already familiar with padlet and picked Jamboard to use, I am curious to find out what you will discover as you become familiar with both tools.  I was debating between these two and selected Padlet because I was recently more exposed to Padlet.  Please keep me posted about your learning journey.

I found that Padlet was much better for organizing my thoughts, since they already provide organizational templates to follow. I also think Padlet gives the creator more space to explain their diagram with larger text boxes. After comparing the two, I find Jamboard to be much more limited and I like working with Padlet since it offers more organizational and textual features!

• Brief Reflection: Being familiar with Jamboard, Padlet, Canva, Google Slides, and PowerPoint, I decided to tinker with Miro.  As the task requested the development of a visual representation of our own design process, I developed a mind map of my pedagogical design process, based on  Wiggin and McTighe’s (1998) Understanding by Design (see thread attachment).
• What I Learned: After tinkering with the the varying templates (e.g., mapping, diagramming, brainstorming, and meetings) Miro provides, I found the interface to be intuitive and user-friendly.  Miro can also integrate with many other platforms (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams), and provides an AI tool.
• Privacy Policy:  Miro’s privacy policy is similar to policies of other digital tools.
• Limitations:  While links can be inserted, images and videos cannot.

I chose to work with Canva because I never have worked with it before. it is rather user friendly, although there were a couple of hiccups along the way, but mostly my fault. That’s why tinkering is helpful. Instead of discussing my work at Brooklyn College I decided to discuss the conference that I try to put on every year. I thought it would be a good idea to discuss since it has been on my mind for a long time now. Also by discussing my process I can see limitations and I can reflect on my own practices.

Through this process I learned that I can use Canva and that I can assign my students to use Canva. However I will have to prep them to get images first and to write out a script and outline based on what they will be presenting. I also learned that classmates can give feedback easily and so a lot can be done on this forum, or with this tool.

The privacy policy seems to be the same as most privacy policies. I guess I am jaded and don’t believe that anything is private anymore. I will certainly tell my students not to reveal anything personal or say things they wouldn’t share with most people.

The sky is the limit it feels like, but I guess I couldn’t figure out how to move the video bubble so that it wasn’t blocking the slides I created. But i am sure with a little more time I will figure that out.

Here is my Canva presentation: https://www.canva.com/design/DAFlniXhVjg/E6Ou9l6ydq9_dYJWDQicKA/view?utm_content=DAFlniXhVjg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink

hi everybody, I am attaching a rough draft of the work that., together with two of my grad students, we are creating for the CITE artifact. The attached is a ppt that includes small size geometric constructions I made long time ago using Geometer Sketchpad. For this project, we will use Geogebra as well as other math-specific tools. We are exploring also, the use of SageModeler which I hope we will learn during Summer Camp 11.

I am looking forward to your comments and questions.
