Looking forward to my EDLD 5303 Course



 I was excited to put together my first eportfolio in my EDLD5302 course. After this week’s readings from my new EDLD 5303 course, I understand more about the importance of creating and maintaining an eportfolio throughout your life. I can see how most people will drop it because of the lack of time, but keeping up with one will allow me to better reflect on my learning. It will also allow me to make meaningful connections that I can share with my fellow teachers and students.

I want to be able to use my eportfolio to help my students and allow me to reflect on my learning. I challenged my students to create their first video assignment after learning and reflecting on the growth mindset in my previous course. This allowed my students to go outside their comfort zone and create something that they can be proud of. I was excited to see their results and accomplishments. I want to use my eportfolio to give them an example like I did with the growth mindset video.  I will have them create their own eportfolio that they can use throughout their journey through school. I will also utilize my eportfolio to help fellow teachers as I lead them through how to integrate technology into the classroom. 

I am glad that I will have time in this course to add to my eportfolio and make adjustments. I used google sites since I use google for everything with our school being a google for education school. I currently have pages that include my growth mindset, learning manifesto, learning network, EDLD 5302 learning reflection, about me, contact me, links, and blog page. I know some changes I will need to make as I add to my eportfolio will be with the navigation. I also want to work on my blog page and make it more user friendly from the eportfolio. I feel that my blog page will be the section that I will utilize the most as I move forward.

EDLD 5303 Learning Reflection

Image
I have learned and grown in my learning after going through my first two courses of the DLL program. I started out learning about the growth mindset and how having a growth mindset enables learners to develop their learning through reflections. It pushed me to think outside the box and try something new by creating a powtoons video on growth mindset for my classes. I then encouraged my students to try something new by putting together a video assignment. What I learned from the project that I assigned to my students was tremendous. Not only did I develop a better understanding of the power of COVA by allowing students a voices and choice in their learning, but saw how students rose to the challenge. Some of these students were students that would have struggled otherwise, but because they were allowed to be creative and put together something that was unique to their learning was able to shine. This got me thinking how education today has taken away from allow students to be

EDLD 5317 Post on A More Engaging Classroom Using Google

How Can You Have A More Engaging and Happier Classroom? I would like to share my story and experiences on how using G suites is creating a learning environment of happier and engaging students and parents. The great thing is this can happen in any classroom and does not matter what the subject or grade level of your students. I have colleagues that have the same success in using G suites in their classroom. A quote that we should all go by came from John Dewey, “If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.” (John Dewey Image) Our students live in a digital world so we should be using technology to engage our students. This is what makes them happy and how they learn in today’s world. We must prepare them with the tools for tomorrow by integrating the use of technology into their learning environment. Technology is the future and we must allow them to use these tools today. We are a Google for education school along with being a 1

Learning Manifesto

Learning Manifesto By: Mitch Madden I believe that we must change the way we educate our students today to be more in aligned with today’s world. I believe one thing that is wrong with education today is we are still teaching like we were taught. As John Dewey says, “If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterdays, we rob them of tomorrow.” In other words we need to be engaging them in the tools of tomorrow and embrace the use of technology within education instead of being afraid of allowing students to utilize these tools. I feel some of the issues related to digital learning throughout the state, regional, national, and global market are not embracing the use of technology in real and authentic learning. We are still stuck on student’s being required to pass a written exam or some sort of exam when we have not utilized technology to engage students and properly access them through the use of allowing students being able to make a choice in their learning by bein
