Developing as a Professional Educator
Week 2
ITEM #8
PLC - Edmodo
I am not familiar with this tech and found it user friendly and can see how it would be easy to have this as a communication portal for parents/teachers. I haven't quite figured out how to "join" other communities without the code.
ITEM #9
Twitter Reflections
I really feel like this semester has flown by, especially with all that is happening. Honestly, I have never really been a fan of twitter until now. I had no use for it and now see the endless connectivity and possibilities to engage with like-minded professionals in the education world. Consider my eyes opened.
Week 3
ITEM #14
Twitter - FLW Educator
I chose to follow a few various educators via the twitter platform and have already gained access to interesting articles and information from their posts. I look forward to continuing to build this PLN. @lpdesignr
ITEM #7
PLC - RSS Feed
I struggled with how to actually do this task. I was easily able to follow a few educator's blogs but how to create an RSS feed eluded me so I enlisted the help of youtube and RSS feed creator option within my wix site. I have added a few posts to the various blogs that I follow or thought had great information. Click the image below to be redirected to my blog.
Week 10
ITEM #57
Code.org PD module
This tool is AMAZING for those who want to teach computer science! I would love to use this in the classroom in order to better prepare myself and aid my students in their education of computer science. I loved that there was an "unplugged" focus.
Week 11
ITEM #59
3 Apple Teacher Badges
I plan to keep working through these trainings so that I can better help train my future students in how to use these program applications in the classroom.
​
I completed 6 badges to date and earned the Apple Teacher title.
Week 12
ITEM #61
Khan Academy Tutorial
I LOVE Khan Academy & Khan Academy Kids. I feel like I would use this to help train myself but also for the option to augment lessons or practice for the students. This is a great tool to have the students access where I can set up assigned tutorial videos and content to watch.
​
Since the art lesson I chose didn't have a "practice," I also did an early math tutorial/practice.
Week 13
ITEM #67
3 Apple Teacher Badges
I completed 9 badges to date and saw that I now have the option to do earn badges in the "Swift Playground" which looks like coding and other more in-depth tools. I look forward to learning more so that I have the tech basics to help my future students no matter what tech they are using in the classroom.
