EME 6414 - Web 2.0

     Sometimes I forget that some parts of the world do not have internet access. The first thought that comes to mind is how much I use google to help me when I think something isn't right with my kids. I couldn't imagine not having the internet.       The past few weeks have been one thing after another! I think *fingers crossed* we are on the mend. Last week my daughter got Hand, Foot, and Mouth. Since she has a bunch of bites from being attached my what felt like a billion mosquitoes. I didn't realize she had HFM until I saw some white dots on her tongue. I took to google to figure out what it could possibly be. After a google search and a message to my doctor's office, we got the confirmation that she did in fact of HFM. I just used the internet to help me figure out what was wrong with my daughter and how I could help her feel more comfortable. The internet searches didn't stop there, what could she eat? They said to help her hydrated and with th...

For my assignment, I decided to create a lesson on Nearpod to use with my students! Nearpod is something I've been using a lot for my internship, so I thought what better way than to keep it going for this class.  I created a lesson on professionalism. In order to incorporate different Web 2.0 tools. I have the students using Canva to create a brochure which they must then share on the class Padlet. This all sounded great until I realized I needed to make some examples to complete the execution. I created three brochures as my student examples. I've already posted them on Padlet.  Fill free to check them out!  https://padlet.com/mmyurewitch/fea9hr7zxohd13z4 Here is the Nearpod link as well. I have my family and friends completing the lesson to get some student examples on there as well. haha! #Teamwork Teacher Link : https://np1.nearpod.com/sharePresentation.php?code=b61ca936cac211358cce75b324300557-1 (Links to an external site.)

 Reflection: 7/17/2022 Tonight I want to take things a little slow. I am exhausted... yet again! I am tired of my kids having a cold after a cold.  Let's see this week was an off one, I wasn't sure what to do with the class this week. I thought ok, let's find some things! I went over to Badgelist to see what there was I could do. I decided to take on the Goodreads challenge.  It was interesting to see what reads were shared and it also had me thinking, that I should pick up a book. Maybe a little reading before bed would be good for the soul.  Has anyone seen "Where the Crawdads Sing?" The trailer looked too good! I love Reese Witherspoon who is one of the Directors of the film.  Also, we can't forget TSwift sings one of the songs in the film.  I thought I should read the book first, before watching the film.  Has anyone read or seen the film? 

I was very excited to hear Apple's ISO 16 Beta public was released. It is currently being downloaded to my phone as I type this. I love being able to test out the software when it comes out. You get to see everything and figure out how to use it before everyone else gets the update. There are some pretty cool features I'm excited to try out!  Here are a few features I'm excited about: 1. Being able to edit a text message after it has been sent. Days of hillo. I meant *hello are gone.  2. Customizable lock screen. No more creating shortcuts and wigdets for me to make my iPhone ascetically pleasing. It will be built in!  3. Multiple stops in Map. Side note why is this now I thing? But I'm excited about it! Now I can find the quickest route without trying to figure it out for myself 4. Notes. I love the notes app and they said there will be improvements there. Hopefully, the notes app will be a bit more user-friendly.  5. Mail search will be updated! Which really needed...

 This week I was feeling a lull in what I should blog about. I think I'm running out of steam. If it's not one thing it's another in my household. And this mom is tired!  Soo when  tiredteacher  issues a challenge on Twitter, I thought, "yes this is what I shall do this week!". Last night I went through all the blogs and commented on each of them. Let me tell you, that was some work right there. I am not good with chit-chats. Also, it was 10:00pm and I was at a 2-year-old birthday party in the hot sun for most of the day chasing my 2-year-old. 😪 So I might have been a bit delirious by that time in the night.  I learned a lot!  1. I tend to visit the same blogs week by week and it's really not on purpose. I just usually try to knock out my blogs early in the week so I miss out on what others post. I usually try to comment on those that have posted for the week.  2. I know would like to own a sapo sponge how thanks to  isdbyjscl 3. We have some nat...

 Saturday night... here I am writing my second blog post of the week. Everyone in my house is already sleeping soundly in their beds. This blog post is the only thing standing in my way of that...  Tonight I read through, "Categorising teachers’ use of social media for their professional learning: A self-generating professional learning paradigm" To learn a little bit more about how teachers are using social media for their professional learning. I think especially with COVID we all saw how online resources really took off. Many teachers were having to come up with ways to teach online. Thankfully all the online resources it's created increased accessibility for teachers to go online and connect. The article suggests all the following social networking sites, " Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, TeachersPayTeachers, Twitter, Google Plus provide environments to profile oneself and one's professional life, to express ideas, to share resources, and to connect with coll...
