Tech and 21st century learning space design
I really enjoyed creating and designing this learning space. Now, I wish that it could become a reality for my school. Our school's fitness room is in desperate need of a makeover and this would be perfect. During this assignment, I realized how much work and planning goes in to updating and creating new spaces. Since I teach PE, I would spend a decent amount of time in the fitness room that I created, I think that is why I enjoyed it so much. Using it for personal use outside of school hours would be a total bonus. I also haven't spend a ton of time on Google Slides and I really like how user friendly it is once you get the hang of it with sizing all of the pictures and using all of the different tools.
I was very nervous to complete this assignment. I felt very overwhelmed when reading about this assignment. When reading all of the articles about the code of ethics and even doing the discussion, I was well out of my comfort zone. Everything was blending together and it was difficult for me to distinguish what went where. When I started finding research for my paper, I began to get in to the assignment. I was still nervous because I haven't really cited my sources for many years and was very lost on that part. However, after reading some articles and incorporating them in to my paper, I realized how fortunate my school is to have given all students their own device and hotspot. Without that, remote learning would be even harder than it is for us right now. I am very grateful for that. It also made me remember to focus on my students wellbeing and always reminding them that any form of bullying is not ok, even when it is not in person. I am glad that this class gave me the time and opportunity to reflect, learn and push myself when I normally would not.
