Classmate-Digital Project Share #1

Me again! On my 2nd rest stop break on my journey from Alberta back home to BC. The view has been gorgeous with snow capped peaks, blue sky and the sun has been shining my entire drive :)!

Its time for me to share one of my classmates final digital projects for this class. I'll be sharing a link to a classmates finished project at least once a week! 

Since I'm on a road trip myself, I thought it fitting to share "Adventures in Adult Educations" Info graph which takes us on a different kind of road trip. A road trip to learn about peer observation of teaching. 
Check it out: 
 

Merry Christmas!!

What an incredibly Busy week! VCC will be closed for the holidays Dec 26-Jan 2nd but do to my family being in Alberta, this week was my vacation week. Im writing this Blog in my car on my way back to BC. Don't worry, I'm pulled over at a 7-11, in Fernie lol! Thank you 7-11, the only place open with a bathroom over the last 2 hours of driving. 
Exciting news! I've found a Blogger app! I'm hoping having my blog at my finger tips will assist me in posting more often. Now if only  Moodle had an app :/...maybe it does? Something to research! 
I've been thinking a lot about my final project for this course. I came across this awesome info-graph that explains pregnancy using Dr. Seuss style poetry. Those that know me well, know how much I love the grinch and Just about everything Dr. Seuss! So I think I'm going to get really creative with whatever topic I pick and possibly try to do something similar ! I'm pretty excited about it! Check out my source of inspiration below:

PIDP 3250....And So It Begins!



Although School is out for Christmas break, I'm still in full swing with my own schooling. This time around I am taking PIDP 3250-Instructional Strategies. I'm realizing quickly that my Blogging is going to have to be taken up a notch, as in previous courses I had been able to work on posts in the background and then publish them all at one time. This course requires me to make more frequent posts and challenges me to let my personality shine through. Looking back on my previous posts, they are more academic than I thought....maybe I can try adding a little more humor to the upcoming ones.....knock knock?

One of the Assignments in this course is focused on discussion boards. After reviewing a few other students Blogs, I decided that I like the approach All Beautiful Minds and Adventures in Adult Education took with blogging. Their blog posts include material learned in the discussion boards, as well as further reflections on the different discussion board topics.

I really like this because it is an opportunity for me to think deeper and reflect on what I've just learned in the discussion forums. It also allows an opportunity for me to post different resources I find interesting and allows me to find them easily after the course is finished.
For example: Check out this awesome video on Confirmation Bias.
