Lastly, I would like to reflect on the use of Rubistar. I enjoyed making my own rubric and this site made it even more enjoyable for me. As a future teacher, this is definitely something I want to keep in mind. I also think using something like Rubistar would help when I am planning lesson using the backward by design model and planning assessment first.

Finally the work is almost done, YAY. Thanks for all the challenges, Milissa! April 16, 2015. Eventually, teachers will have to deal with all the students world and we need to prepare what the world throws at us, yes even if its a DEVICE. How do they make a post within a post? February 10, 2015.

I Can See The Light At The End Of The Tunnel. Normally a module takes me an entire day to finish, sometimes even two! Learning About The Technology Integration Matrix.

My final project is now complete. This is a fantastic link on how to correctly code.

It is hard to believe how many different digital tools there are accessible for teachers to use. The main reason why I chose to go to BrainPOP. Was because of the name. Often times you will have students in your classroom who may finish their work before their classmates. BrainPOP would be a great website for the students to visit because it allows them to still be completing school work but at the same time the work being fun! April 6, 2015.

The journey through ECMP 355. To read about my ECMP journey.

Next to learning how to play a recorder in music, I feared. I have never taken an online class and the rumor was that it takes up more of your time than all other classes combined. It is not a rumor.

Now that you have had an opportunity to explore issues, ideas and thinking around BYOD, what is your opinion and or experiences regarding students bringing their own devices to school? At first when I went into this module, I kept asking myself what is BYOD? HAHA, when you know school is just around the corner.

Technology is the new norm and as long as I continue to learn how to use the devices to reach students in the classroom I know that learning will be fun. By using technology in the classroom I know that all students whether they are regular or come from diverse backgrounds they will learn. It might not be at the same pace but at least they will be engaged. Socrative and Blendspace are the tools that I chose to talk about. Grade 6 Art Unit Plan.
