Education Background : BA, BEd and now MEd.

Teaching Background in FSL.

Based on the quiz 2 things I would like to improve on are 1) use ICT to access and create knowledge solutions and products and 2) use a variety of avenues for getting information about research related to technology use (e.g., communities of practice, conferences).

Diary Entry #5 - Wednesday February 7th 2024

# data[].attributes.body
Today is Wednesday, the due date of the problematizing project (1st task for the technology integration project). Makayla and I touched base - making sure we had all the correct information. We added our last minute touches and I did some research on the next steps. According to chat gpt and research our next steps are the following:

1. "Prototype or Pilot: Test the solution on a small scale to identify any unforeseen challenges or opportunities for improvement. This could involve creating a prototype or conducting a pilot study.

2. Iterate and Refine: Based on feedback from testing, refine the solution as needed. Iterate on the design or implementation to address any shortcomings and optimize its effectiveness.

3. Implement and Monitor: Roll out the solution on a larger scale, ensuring proper training and support for those involved. Monitor its implementation closely to identify any issues and make adjustments as necessary.

4. Evaluate Results: Assess the impact of the solution against predefined metrics and goals. Gather feedback from stakeholders to gauge satisfaction and identify areas for further improvement.

5. Iterate and Scale: Based on the evaluation results, refine the solution further and consider scaling it up or adapting it for other contexts. Continuously monitor and iterate on the solution to ensure its long-term success."

Diary Entry #6 - February 14th 2024 - Feedback from the Professor

Introduction: Overall, very good job. You followed the instructions. I also really enjoyed the visuals, and the fact you referred to the literature to support your points 4.3/5

Project Plan: Overall, I like what you want to do, but I’m a little bit worried about the feasibility of your project. How are you going to recruit the native speakers and ensure that they will be open to give some of their time for free. You may want to produce other opportunities for learners to interact authentically with native speakers. What about designing sets of online projects where learners have to perform different tasks that require them to interact with native speakers? For instance, they may have to create a program for a two-week vacation in France. To do so they may have to call couple of hotels or talk to camping owners to get more information on their services, etc. Then, they will have to submit the recordings of their calls. It’s just a suggestion. 4.3/5

Team: Good job overall. I like the team that put together. However, Mikayla and you share the exact responsibilities. A little more detail would have helped me understand the differences between your roles. 3.5/4

Diary: I really enjoyed your diary and the format that you picked.  Next time, try to go more inward and try to reflect on your own becoming using the concept of TBIC and two elements from module 5. 5.3/6

Diary Entry #7 - February 20th 2024 - WIX AI

Research Articles

I have attached an article which I found super interesting when doing research for this task. It discusses the interconnectivity and logic behind using AI within language education. It also emphasizes some ideas in which we were looking at- such as vocabulary and grammar AI. Personally, looking for resources made me look at language learning in a new light - with a different perspective than the traditional pencil and paper methods, which is what we want for the product and learners.

Final Stages of the Prototype

# data[].attributes.body
Yesterday, we received the feedback for our prototype. It was good comments and some great suggestions. Here are some notes I made:

1. Making the website title bigger so that learners know who is providing this service.

2. Correcting links to make the platform more user friendly.

3. Creating a sample unit so that learners have the opportunity to engage with an example of materials and tasks - motivating them and sparking interest to join.

4. Expand the FAQ section.

5. Share more about the founders, contact information and backgrounds.

6. Remove the shopping feature of the site, as the main focus is program/monthly plans.

7. Emphasize the chat feature.

Feedback and Interconnectivity

Beginner Unit Sample

I decided to attach a copy of the unit in which we created which goes into depth of the sample pages but also gives learners an example of what they would be exploring. I used WIX AI to generate an image as seen to display different francophone cities across the world - as you can see in the architecture and colours! It was really cool to see how an idea was brought to life through AI and integrated into the project - definitely seeing interconnectivity!

The correction have been made and the website published! https://juliachmura273.wixsite.com/my-site-2/beginners Now Mikayla and I are working on our write up, this time using Canva again but making sure we dont run into any issues like last time! We choose to use images and interactive design that makes it simple and easy to follow, emphasizing the use of Logic - one of the elements I have focused on. Excited for the final product! Almost done!
