I make my children and students aware that the world is their learning playground and they can access and create information in a way that has never been possible before. I love to read, and something you can find me doing is Guest Reading in classrooms. ]]> 2019-03-08 18:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jesbizzle/8zz7uytr5fzm/wish/339413136 jesbizzle https://padlet.com/jesbizzle/8zz7uytr5fzm/wish/339415482  I am enrolled in this MED T&T program to further my own education for when I re-enter the work world. I want to learn about designing a successful eLearning Instructional Platform. The information covered in week 1, is a great reminder of the importance of creating original works, and being aware of the laws that apply to educators and students in the Knowledge Era when creating new multimedia for teaching and learning. ]]> 2019-03-08 18:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jesbizzle/8zz7uytr5fzm/wish/339415482 jesbizzle https://padlet.com/jesbizzle/8zz7uytr5fzm/wish/339415602 Technology is deeply rooted in our home, but I also know the importance of limits. I have seen more positive than negative impacts on my students and children from utilizing these technologies. The world is literally at the fingertips of an inquisitive mind. I use technology for personal learning and teaching my children, creating, listening to music, documenting our lives with pictures and video from my phone, face-timing our family members, watching video, listening to podcasts, and I'm sure that's the shortlist. The answer to many of the daily questions my kids and myself have, can usually be answered thanks to Google. ]]> 2019-03-08 18:06:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jesbizzle/8zz7uytr5fzm/wish/339415602 jesbizzle https://padlet.com/jesbizzle/8zz7uytr5fzm/wish/339415671 I taught 5th grade for five years in the school district I attended, and that my children now attend, St. Clair R-13. We are a 1-1 district that was one of the first schools in the area to adopt Chromebooks into the classroom district wide. That process was a learning experience that will help guide me in my future aspirations of helping lead the way for innovative integration of technology for education in my area. ]]> 2019-03-08 18:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jesbizzle/8zz7uytr5fzm/wish/339415671 jesbizzle https://padlet.com/jesbizzle/8zz7uytr5fzm/wish/339415702 All the classrooms in our district are equipped with interactive Smartboards, and each student K-12 is issued a Chromebook. Many of the teachers used Google to create personal classroom websites to link to the district page. I used Google Classroom to stay involved and assist when I was absent from my class for my  maternity leave. Now I'm able to continue my own education via the internet which is such a convenience for my family. This has given me a first-hand, positive new learning experience that can transfer into a more traditional classroom setting. ]]> 2019-03-08 18:06:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jesbizzle/8zz7uytr5fzm/wish/339415702
