Module Reflection #9

For this module we were tasked with creating a Google Form Questionare and a Game/Puzzle. I had made a google form in the past when I was subbing during the pandemic and had to come up with quick and simple ways to quiz my students. What I liked about google forms was that it kept track of all the data which made grading stress free. Though I wish I would have known back then about these newer fun quizzing sites. I did try kahoot but for some reason the link it provided me didn't show me the quiz in the student's view, therefore I tried Quizizz instead. I have to stay it was fun viewing it as a student would because it had music and funny memes that pop up when you answer each question letting you know whether you answered correctly or incorrectly. Anyway, I am attching them for your viewing. Enjoy!

Module 4 Reflection

I'm going to be honest and say that this was a challenging Module for me. Not only because I have limited experience of lesson planning as a subsitute teacher but also because everything at home just piled up at the same time. I was working well on the lesson plan to turn it on time and then there were about 2 weeks of events and family that would just now allow me to sit down and finish. But I am so glad I got to finishing it up because it was enjoyable, mostly because I imagined teaching the lesson to my son. Thinking of ways to make sure he understands the instruction and concepts. He has just started using Scratch Jr at home and really likes it. I will have to try and teach him all about what programming is, coding, algorithms and sequences, words he is yet to learn. One part about the Lesson Plan assignment that I thought was interesting was the ISTE Standards. It was something I didn't even know existed but what a great resource it is to have to make sure techn...

Reflection #5

Computational Thinking! That was what this module was all about. And what a coincidence because ... that relates so well to the topic I chose for my lesson! Which is: Coding for children. 😁 I must say I am finally starting to understand computational steps and algorithms more clearly after these assignments. It is interesting how this step-by-step problem solving concept is a process that can be applied to both computers and teaching. I think it is a great way to really break down larger ideas or projects and make them more comprehensible and doable. Finding everyone's favorite color with the Binary Alphabet was fun. I knew that one of the color's that is also a plant was going to be lavender because I loooove lavender and I am obsessed with it so much so that I had my bridesmaids in lavender at my wedding. And I just absoultely love the smell of it, I keep a bag of dry lavender and smell it to relax as odd as that sounds. I also use the lavender...

Module 1 Reflection

Module 1 was very interesting because it refreshed my mind of a lot things. Having been a substitute teacher during the pandemic I had been well acquainted with google classroom. At the time I remember thinking "wow! everything is so accessible." All in one place, the lessons, the assignments, the grading. I remember using Kami and thinking what a great tool it was to be able to write on pdfs for both students and teachers. I thought the google maps quizzes was also a great tool. It reminded me of one of my undergrad projects in which I would from my laptop travel back to my home town in Mexico and visit that tiny house I grew up in Guadalajara. It has now changed so much as you can see below, the white center house is now 2 stories along with the neighboring houses. I think this is a wonderful way for us who emigrated to be able to visit our birth places. It also reminds me of a great film, Lion which is based on a true story about Saroo Brierley who finds his way back home...
