Throughout the course I have been blogging about my encounters with Flipgrid and TikTok. I have a smaller update for both of those, but in the last three weeks I have spent a considerable amount of time with Minecraft Edu and Canvas. I decided to include these two for my Major Project. I understand if … Continue reading The Final Chapter

EC&I 832 “For Dummies”
For my summary of learning I created 2 separate TikTok videos and edited them together (TikTok only allows 5 minutes). I used Steve Boot’s method of recording each sentence independently. This worked really well, and I was able to fit in a lot of information in the 5 minutes. I felt like I was in … Continue reading EC&I 832 “For Dummies”

The first time I felt fear about using technology in the classroom was at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. We were told our return to school plan included live streaming of our classrooms, while supporting both our in person and online students, while creating assignments for both. There were a variety of issues … Continue reading To Post or Not to Post

When I was visiting a classroom this week for a literacy lesson, a student called me, “Mrs. Cheese Robot Lady”, and I loved it. So yes, I am Mrs. Cheese Robot Lady. Chris’ article this week “A Reminder that ‘Fake News’ is an Information Literacy Problem- Not a Technology Problem” resonated with me in the … Continue reading A Day in the Life of Mrs. Cheese Robot Lady

Privacy For the purposes of this class I kept my profile as “public”. I also want to continue keeping it as public if I want to use this as a tool to promote myself. I’ve leaned more into the social part of TikTok, rather than using it as an educational tool. I’m not using a … Continue reading Time for TikTok Update

I have a previous post that talks about my group’s discussion of Media Literacy in a post named “Emotional Damage”, please check that out! I had posted my blog response for the wrong week, oops. For this week’s reflection, I want to look at our group’s Mentimeter results: Media literacy has many aspects that can … Continue reading Media Literacy

This week Bart and I made some progress towards our major project. As he put it, “she has the know-how, and I have the students”. While he also has the capacity to teach it, it can be a nice reprieve to have someone else come in and talk to your students, you never know who … Continue reading Walking the Talk

In Digital Citizenship We can warn people about being socially appropriate for our audience when posting, but it doesn’t always seem to make sense until you’ve made your own media “mistake”. Teaching students about netiquette and visibility settings is a great place to start. But it isn’t enough to protect students from all possible situations … Continue reading Emotional Damage 🎶

My Media Journey The greatest reminder of my uncensored teenage digital identity is the dreaded Facebook Memories. I almost always see the “on this day” memories and immediately delete them or change the privacy settings. I don’t think that 13 year old me was considering my future at all, never mind a future as an … Continue reading The Good, The Bad, The Old Me

In this post I am applying Dr. Mike Ribble’s 9 Elements of Digital Citizenship to my personal application of TikTok and Flipgrid in the classroom. To keep things organized for my final project I’m going to investigate the themes I feel most relatable to each platform separately. Even though they are both video based platforms, … Continue reading Time for TikTok – Update (Part 2)
