This was a tough week for me. As I have mentioned previously on my blog I don’t consider myself a tech savvy person. With our class cancelled this week I found it very difficult to navigate our weekly task list as well as work on this site. I’ve discovered that I need to be in the classroom in person to do my best learning. Not only do I find the tech side of it hard, but I find it hard to get motivated when I am on my own. I imagine this was the case for students when learning transitioned to online during the first waves of covid. If anything this can serve as a reminder to myself, as a future educator, the difficulties of online learning that students face. I am so looking forward to class on Monday where I will hopefully gain more clarity on how to customize my site.
One activity that I really enjoyed was the jam board activity. If I end up teaching older grades, this will definitely be something I use. I loved how quick and simple it was to use (even for me.) I can see this being a great tool for a quick reflection in the classroom.
