These are the youtube badges I was awarded through the learning and exploration I did in Dr.Hopper's EDtech class. They all my desire for life-long learning as a teacher and a great knowledge of youtube and youtube uploading. Youtube is a very good resource for all teachers and students to use as they develop their professional identity online and/or to research new ideas and solutions to problems they might have. These badges have validated my previous and growing knowledge of youtube and video creating.

Google has definitely become my education/teacher best-friend! All of these badges shows that I have been able to successfully use google to improve my learning and the collaboration I form with other classmates around me. I have really benefited from the use of google in this class and I have also learned a lot about the many different add-ons and extensions you can connect to google to fit your purposes better.  Google drive especially helps me to stay organized and up to date with my assignments and collaboration projects from any computer.

The development of our folioz/e-portfolio pages has been a major focus of our EDtech class.

Each of these badges represents one skill that I have learnt to do through using folioz this semester. I hope to continue developing my e-portfolio for the rest of my career and make at very accessible and helpful to prospective teachers coming after me.  

Blogging Badges

B5 - Download Youtube video as mp4 and then edit as needed

B2 - Embed an Image in a post

B1 - Hyperlinking to resources on the internet

B10 - Tag blog

Blogging has become a great tool for reflection and recording my ideas following each week of gym lessons. Each of us had our own blog where we had to respond to the prompts and readings from Dr.Hopper. This is where my learning really developed and go formed into teacher thoughts. I hope to bring blogging into my classroom one day as a teacher because I think it's a really great way to strengthen writing,  technique, audience tone, and style in student learners. It is also a very unintimidating way to get your thoughts down and paper, and also allows for rich media to be added to add even more explanation into the writing.

SR08 - Create a Facebook Group chat to organize group projects

These four badges are all centered around social media and group collaboration. Dr.Hopper strongly believes in group collaboration and the sharing of our learning and knowledge on social media. As you can see these badges show that I have successfully been able to do that as well and use many different social media domains to develop and support my teaching.
