Week 9 Reflections

This week we worked on two projects, the first one being concept mapping. We all used bubbl.us to create our concept maps. They had to relate somehow to our content area, so I chose to use statistics and break down into the basics of mean, variance, independent events, and probability. These are all key components in introduction to statistics.

The standards met for concept mapping were: Model Digital-Age Work and Learning and Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments.

The second project that we completed this week was creating a newsletter on Microsoft Publisher. This newsletter was meant for our future students to receive before class started in the summer. Mine introduced my students and their parents to me, my values, my beliefs in the classrooms, and then included some articles about technology in the classroom and some sites for the students to practice on. Overall, I was really happy with the outcome of my newsletter!

The standards met for the newsletter were: Model Digital-Age Work and Learning and Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments.

Week 8 Reflections

This week we created a podcast that somehow related to our content area. Since I am AYA Math, I chose to create a podcast that would be paired along with my VoiceThread assignment I had done a couple weeks before. In my podcast I list four jobs that relate to math and in some unexpected way. This podcast would get my students excited for their semester long project incorporating real world applications for math.
The standards that were met this week were: Model Digital-Age Work and Learning, Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments, and finally, Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity.
