In this padlet we will be collecting and curating experiences with different digital technologies for learning and teaching. We want to hear what you tried today (or this week)! Leave a short description, video or document detailing what technology you played with, how you are thinking it could be used in your context, what you're finding so far and anything else you might want to share with others. Click the + button to contribute. You can upload a video , screenshot of your work, or use the built in video recorder.

I looked at the Top 100 list, and went into a few different programs about video editing or interactive videos but all appeared to be pay sites. I will continue via Google next. Looking at ClipChamp currently.

Explored twine because it offers choices and branching options for students to have a customized learning experience.

We are learning text and branching paths are straightforward to create, image integration is a struggle, and determining capabilities and features on the online version vs downloaded version.

Graham taught our group how to use pixilart and it was really cool!

We played around with the features of each and discovered ones we liked. We then wrote report card comments on each to see the difference in voice and accuracy to the curriculum.

Got sidetracked discussing previous tech we loved.

I looked through the top 100 list, and was familiar with many of the programs (I'd say close to half, or more). But in exploring some of the ones I am not familiar with, they were overwhelming in terms of what was offered.

Additionally, lots need a "free trial" which is annoying.

I tried to play with Equatio but it was not at all functional or useful for what I was hoping to use it for (AI generating problems). I didn't even know how to navigate to where that particular supposed-functionality exists.

I needed to find a collaborative platform for students to use to complete homework. It allows me to upload homework questions and they can complete them at their leisure. If students are confused, they can use the instant messaging feature to ask each other questions so they can feel less isolated when they study. They can also connect and share perspective/strategy.

Press Books

I signed up for Press Books but realized that My Uvic email is no longer in my Microsoft Outlook (I have a new computer), so I couldn't confirm my registration. I looked at the tutorial videos, though, and the program certainly has potential.

Sharing because these are some of my go-to programs which I end up recommending to many other people.

Bullzip PDF printer - amazing (especially in working online) - free program that can "print" to a PDF and even merge different PDF files together. I also had used it to be able to "print" multiple JPG files into a single PDF file (necessary for online marking efficiency).

AdobeScan - free smartphone app to digitize to PDF, super user-friendly, straightforward, intuitive, can re-order pages, crop, recolour, etc. and share via email or direct link.
