A rose is that we have two well-planned modules that we haven’t used yet, but have motivated us to explore the structure in other courses.

A bud – not used yet, but excited and ready!

As we reviewed this module today, I missed this response here (oops!).

The article provided a lot of information about how to address tech, especially when our students are the ones with the concerns, as learning is really about them.  I enjoyed seeing the perspectives of the students because they help us consider those barriers at the…[Read more]

After engaging in this module which used Scratch I learned how accessible coding can be for students learning English and how students can connect across languages using this tool and its various translation options.  The project designed by Ms Silfa, which included Syncretic Computational Literacies, taught me about three areas I might use to…[Read more]

Part of being a great team member is knowing who you are and what you need so you can state your expectations clearly and then work to build a collective.  I added this step of self-reflection into the practice.

Hello!

Kristen here.  In playing the game I held on to cards 8, 16, 35, 45, and 46.  These cards ended up being the ones I hung on to because they connect to motivation (16) and engagement (8).  As a special educator these are central issues to teaching learners that may not learn or engage in the same way as others.  I look to engage and mot…[Read more]
