For Task 7, I’ve chosen to provide a slightly updated version of the image used in Task 1. My reasons for this include the fact that the original image was a relatively low quality and not suitable for multi-modal approach I had in mind. Additionally, I’m reading a new book, so I wanted to provide an updated image to reflect where I currently am on my learning journey.
With this in mind, I chose to take the original static image and turn it into an interactive piece using a free web application called Genial. Using this application allows me to place interactive buttons on each item in my bag which then link the learner to an additional source of information, providing context and further learning opportunities. The great thing about this is it allows content to be displayed in multiple modes- videos, sound clips, games and interactive web applications.
Enjoy!

Hi Jordon,
I had never seen Genially used before and it seems like a great tool! I remembered seeing your original image based on the Edmonton Oilers hat (I appreciate the Oilers and McDavid but am a Capitals fan myself – even though I’m from Vancouver). I thought your use of this interactive image was very creative and provides a lot of opportunities to share more about the importance of the objects to yourself and provide more information about them in general. It was neat to see how you could incorporate the link to the backpack and the video featuring Paul Auster relating to anxiety.
Seeing Genially in action, I am going to see if it will mesh with any assignments that I do with my Grade Four class next year. Thank you for sharing the tool!
