Audio and Visual Digital Tools Discussion

After reviewing and listening to our weekly discussion videos this was right on time. Traditional classrooms are slowly being transformed into blended learning classrooms, which is so needed with this new generation of children. I honestly believe if the pandemic hadn’t happened when it did, we would still be holding on to traditional learning and not letting our minds take us further causing ourselves and the students we teach to be caught in a whirlwind.

Being able to implement blended learning into a traditional classroom has made learning easier for not only the students but teachers old and new as well. Digital learning has made a huge impact on how students are learning today. Digital learning has allowed students to learn worldly things within the classroom rather than on their own. Students are more engaged in learning new things now that the schools have implemented blended learning into their classrooms.

Whats really important 5317

These last few weeks have been tough but manageable. This 2nd half of the semester was a little odd and I say odd becuase the groups put together by the professor didnt go according to plan.

Reaching out and trying to get in contact with the members was not good. I know people have busy lives but we also make time for things that are important to us and this is something that is important to me passing this class. Even though I waas unable to get in contact with other group members I found one group member that was ready to get to work and boy did we work.

From zoom call meetings to text to group work we stuck together and got it done. After coming to the conclusion that it would just be us two working together I soon realized what was really important ans got to work not worrying about the others thats choose not to participate.

Pursuing and Sharing Publications Discussion Week 2 (5317)

Wow!!! Yet another week of some awesome videos geared towards helping change the old way of learning and creating something new. In the video provided by Ken Robinson was very artsy and creative I love how animated the video was really head my attention through out the presentation and that’s a great way to reach our youth/students. Giving them something they can interact with and that will definitely keep them interested and ready to learn instead of being discouraged. Video two was straight to the point and the observation I received from that video and to definitely take back with me is to make learning fun again as Dr. H would say.

Since being a sub, I have encountered quite a few things in the classroom and honestly the children are bored with little to no structure which has caused them to get themselves in trouble and not staying focused on their studies and that has been a huge problem since going through the pandemic. This video basically lets us know how to go about changing it with 3 rules. Rule 1: Courtesy comes first. Rule 2: Embrace the mess/ Trial and Error. Rule 3: Practice Reflection. The third video reflected on how one comes up with good ideas but in all honesty good ideas come from small ideas that needed another small idea to become a bigger idea. All of the videos provided were right on time since the next assignment.
