The article mentioned that this encouraged world- wide creativity and collaboration. This was really fascinating particularly given the controversies lately about net- neutrality, or lack- thereof. ]]> 2018-08-30 02:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/karla_mulholland/EDEL599/wish/276457455 Week 1: Ah Ha from How Stuff Works karla_mulholland https://padlet.com/karla_mulholland/EDEL599/wish/276459282 I don't know that I would exactly call this an Ah Ha, but I had trouble thinking of examples of websites you might go to for information once but never again. The article mentioned a personal website, and that I could picture, but in other cases I wasn't sure. In terms of an Ah Ha, I didn't know that Firefox provides developers tools to create applications based on their software. That was a new detail for me. ]]> 2018-08-30 02:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/karla_mulholland/EDEL599/wish/276459282 Week One Task 6/7 Information Literacy Reflection karla_mulholland https://padlet.com/karla_mulholland/EDEL599/wish/279591701 2018-09-10 19:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/karla_mulholland/EDEL599/wish/279591701 Website Evaluation karla_mulholland https://padlet.com/karla_mulholland/EDEL599/wish/279623764 2018-09-10 21:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/karla_mulholland/EDEL599/wish/279623764 Twitter Chat/Reflection karla_mulholland https://padlet.com/karla_mulholland/EDEL599/wish/281825015 #flipclass- For flipped classroom

#edchat- General edu chat

#pblchat- Project Based Learning Chat

#kidscancode- Coding based chat

I have participated in #TOSAchat for a while, though since I’m back in the classroom I haven't been keeping up with it. I'm looking forward to participating in another chat on topics more relevant to me as a classroom teacher, Twitter has become one of my go to places for finding resources/strategies/
etc.

I've coded before using block coding and tried out some tutorials for coding with HTML, specifically from General Assembly, and I enjoyed it. When I was doing those I always had a clear plan/tutorial to follow so coding with total freedom was both exciting and frustrating because I wasn't sure what to do. I think it's incredibly valuable to teach coding in schools, it's a great way to teach growth mindset as well as other skills like attention to detail, in addition to being a better prepared citizen of the digital world. Last year when I was a TOSA, I did activities with primary grades using Dot and Dash, where the students used them for a variety of purpose, and for older students we used Swift Playground so that they could see the written code and the actions their code lead to. Ultimately so much of our lives today depends on some kind of code so kids need to know that apps and programs are created, and that they can be creators also.]]> 2018-09-16 01:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/karla_mulholland/EDEL599/wish/281825556 MOOC karla_mulholland https://padlet.com/karla_mulholland/EDEL599/wish/281826028 2018-09-16 01:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/karla_mulholland/EDEL599/wish/281826028 Week Six Catch Up- Questions About Portfolio karla_mulholland https://padlet.com/karla_mulholland/EDEL599/wish/295196286 I helped to craft the most recent version of my district's RUP, my main question is whether the revision history of the google doc used as my colleague and I helped to create the newer version would be sufficient as we helped to create it. We also helped to create three versions of student friendly versions of the Responsible Use Policy, one for TK-2, one for 3-8, students in 9-12 used the districts original Responsibly Use Policy as it was expected they could understand the document with some discussion. One other question/comment is that I am uncomfortable about putting certain things that I created in my role as TOSA from my district up publicly on my portfolio because they are very strict about the fact that they own those materials, and I don't want to be violating that, but I am happy to email it to you as a PDF, is that OK?]]> 2018-10-21 16:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/karla_mulholland/EDEL599/wish/295196286
