Exploring SocialBook Web Page

In the ETEC 540: Text Technologies: The Changing Spaces of Reading and Writing course, I contributed to a group project creating a Weebly website. Our group project was examined SocialBook, a technology for collaborative reading— which, while a great idea, never caught on.

I chose this artifact as part of the ETEC590 capstone project because it fits with the web metaphor. For our group project we explored SocialBook through the lens of how the technologies modifies the reading and writing processes and collaboration process. But as I reflected on the course afterwards, I realized that aspects of this project intersect which the knowledge I gained in the  ETEC 565A: Learning Technologies: Selection, Design and Application course.

Indigenous Use of the Internet & Social Media Weebly Website

Indigenous Use of the Internet & Social Media Weebly Website
The artifact I selected for the ETEC521: Indigeneity, Technology and Education course is a website I created as an independent assignment. Reasons why I selected to showcase this website are:

  • It demonstrates a breadth of learning and synthesis of learning theory, research and practice. I was able to pull together the ideas around media literacy presented in the ETEC531:  Cultural and New Media Studies course, and concepts from the ETEC510: The Design of Technology-Supported Learning Environments into this project and the research I did on this topic.
  • Throughout the course the students contributed regularly to a WordPress blog. This was an example of both constructivism and active learning. The end result was an amazing repository of information and links all relating to Indigenous use of technology, social media, Indigenous approaches to education, and Indigenous issues.
  • And it demonstrates the use of a variety of technologies, including; PhotoShop, Weebly, HTML, Timeline JS and Canva.
  • This was one of my favourite courses, and course assignments because I learned a great deal in the process.  I believe that the information in the Indigenous Use of the Internet & Social Media is valuable to share.
