I created an alternative artifact where students look at published data (Zero to Three’s State of Babies Yearbook) and compare national data to what is published about NYS.  The data focuses on 3 critical areas: 1) maternal & child health, 2) family well-being, and 3) access to quality ECE programming.

Hi — THORN . my project was based on a site visit to an infant classroom which we did pre-pandemic. Unfortunately, although fieldwork programs are happy to have students completing fieldwork hours, they are not interested in having students visit for 1 hour 1 time…  I have struggled to identify programs to host students…

What are your thoughts on the teacher candidate visual resource? It was an engaging and entertaining medium to capture the message and get the

The reports paint visions of aspirations that we can aim.  I also want teacher candidates when they leave BMCC.  The inequity I am concerned with is preparing teacher candidates to have the knowledge and skills to be successful in their transfer  (4-year) co…[Read more]

I think that if I created my own data set on Excel used that to create a Pivot table, my experience would have been much more meaningful — and perhaps easier!  Suppose I wanted to create a spreadsheet of my yarn, by brand, color, weight, number of skeins, date purchased, where purchased, etc.  Then I can manipulate the data in ways that are m…[Read more]

I never used Loopy, it looked fun. I played around with it. I explored Mido too, but this looked like more fun. There was no privacy policy for Loopy — the FAQ’s were cheesy. How do I send fan mail?  I would want to know who owns the content, can remove it, etc.  I s…[Read more]

Hi, for Module 2, when I clicked on the “Cite Mission & Common Values” the page that opens says “404 Unfortunately the page was not found”. Thanks!

I forgot to add that it was reassuring to see that children only spend 49 minutes a day of screen time from the Common Sense Report in the Padlet examples.

Hi, Jen Longley, faculty in the ECE program.

As I was mesmerized by many of the initiatives in the white paper; the tampon project for example. I appreciated seeing projects that included trans people. It made me wonder, do projects exist for people with disabilities, beyond the focus on assistive technology?

I appreciated the podcast from the…[Read more]

Hi, Jen Longley (she/ her), faculty in the ECE program.  I have played around in the Commons before, but am partial to BMCC’s OpenLab.  I use Jamboard, FlipGrid, and Excel.  I am excited to explore and learn about CODAP; Scratch; and Padlet.  I look forward to playing around with them more!
