Competencies Part II

The Continuing Saga of my Competency in the Online Realm.

With all the information being downloaded into my brain, it is probably for the best for me to add another post about what I am required to remember, but will probably forget without some documentation. 

Assessment – Check. As I am learning to build many lesson plans over many curricular approaches and cross-curricular approaches, I have understood that formative assessment is quizzes or short paragraphs discussing what one has learned. Summative assessment is a more final assessment, such as portfolios or end of chapter test. 

Privacy – Check. Going back to Jesse Millers zoom call, I learned about cyberbullying and how to hold those accountable in the online world.  As well as FIPPA (Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act), designed to upload the right to information that is controlled  by institutions.

Inclusion – Check. Technology can be a double edged sword – we are all aware of this. However, after learning about the accessibility it can give those individuals who have disabilities or live in very remote areas it opens a virtual door that was once a mere window. With Virtual Robots and blended learning as well as many other varieties of online school, the gap to reach those who have been previously left out has become smaller and smaller. Very Cool.

And thats all for today folks.

Reflections, Reflections, 

Week 4

This week, I googled myself… I found some not so flattering  videos of me trying to sing Les Mis at 2am. Needless to say, they are no longer available at this time, and will be never again. Other than that enlightening adventure down memory lane, my online presence is pretty tame. My personal Facebook, is not my real name and my Instagram is set to private with my profile picture as a cloudy sky. I personally like to keep myself off online as much as possible because I just don’t know who is out there poking around. I like to keep to myself in the real world so it would make sense that I would be the same in the online realm.

Other then crossing my t’s and dotting my i’s,  I have found a rhythm in this course and it seems to be levelling out.  Now, as I say that, I am sure there is going to be something pop up that I have completely missed or forgot about. With about a third of the course underway and with the second week of October fast approaching, this course has opened up a lot of domains and has shown me how much of the internet is available, and where I need to go, and what path to follow for a safe trip.  I just hope I do not get lost along the way. 

Until next time, 

Stay Classy  ♥
