It’s been a long and rewarding journey. \u00a0I feel absolutely exhausted from it all! \u00a0But in the end, I learned a lot about the need for teachers to lead the way in the world of technology in education. \u00a0I was able to try countless different online applications and tools, and got so many ideas for my teaching practice. \u00a0Best of all I was able to co-create a website that will help other teachers in their professional practice. \u00a0Not bad for 3 weeks worth of work!<\/p>\n
I think my favourite part of the course was the various 10 minutes of fame presentations. \u00a0I wish they could have been longer so we could have had time to ask more questions and go into more depth. \u00a0I also really loved Kate’s approach to her 10 minutes; giving us 10 online “gems” that we may not have seen before. \u00a0I was lucky and hadn’t seen any of the 10 sites that she presented on and I’m so excited to try them out. \u00a0A good addition to this course would be to have everyone do something similar and present their top 10 favourite sites that they use in education. \u00a0The problem with the online world is the sheer vastness of information available – it’s so nice to hear from other teachers about what they’re using and what works. \u00a0I know that I personally could go on and on about my favourite online spaces.<\/p>\n
I’m really looking forward to not thinking about school and projects this weekend! \u00a0I start my last 2 classes on Monday and definitely need the time to clear my brain. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
So here’s my final project that I co-created with Christine Bodt: \u00a0www.ipads4literacy.weebly.com<\/p>\n
While we worked collaboratively throughout, I was responsible for the Reading Skills, Responding to Literature, and Accessing Literature pages on the site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
