676 - Artifacts #1 & #2

 


Artifact #1

Classroom Application for Collaborative Web Tools


                                                               

The reason why I choose this assignment as an artifact because not only did it allow me to further investigate Seesaw but I learned how to use Canva to create an infographic.  Learning how to use Canva is a real easy way to share information with others.  I can use Canva to provide information on a topic in a way that is not over whelming for the reader.  I have never used infographics as a form of communication but after completing this assignment I can see how this can benefit me as a teacher.  I can easily sharing important points about a tool, app, or program that I want my students to use.  The infographic can provide parents, teachers, and even administrators with the main reasons why the tool, app, or program is beneficial for students.


Artifact #2


Creating A Collaborative Task Using Seesaw



I choose this assignment as one of my artifacts because I learned to use a digital tool to encourage collaboration among students.  Using the digital tool, Seesaw, for this assignment will allow students to work collaboratively with little or no help from the teacher.   This tool allows me to provide students with an audio of the instructions that they can listen to if they need to.  Having students use Seesaw to complete this activity also provides them with the option to use the camera to take pictures or make a video recording of their work.  They also have the choice to use audio to demonstrate knowledge.  I was also able to provide them with an example of what to look for as well as a checklist so that they can keep track of their work.

Discussion 7 - How can and should schools use social media?

  How can and should schools use social media? ·          What social networking and/or social media sites do you use in your role as a school leader?  Do you feel that this is beneficial?  In what ways? What positive and negative feedback have you received from students, families, and the community? The only social media that I use as a teacher is Twitter.   To be honest the only reason I created an account was because it was an assignment for a summer course.   Now that I have this account, I have been using it as a Professional Learning Network or PLN.   I do feel this has been beneficial because I have learned about a variety of workshops held by Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) and International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) happening during summer in which I was able to attend.   Now as far as using Twitter with students and their families that I have not done and I don’t think I ...
