Reflection #3

-

    The assignments are getting more intense, but I can honestly say I’m learning a lot and storing new ideas in my memory, kind of like Cloud Computing, where data is stored and accessed online. In the same way, I’m building my understanding of how tools like Cloud Computing, QR codes, infographics, and HTML can be useful in the classroom.

    I found this week’s activities both interesting and eye-opening. It’s clear how much technology and the internet have become a part of our daily lives, especially in education. Some parts were a bit challenging, especially working with HTML since it was new to me. I learned that even small mistakes in the code can affect the whole document, so it’s important to be accurate. It was tricky, but also fun to figure out.

    One of the highlights for me was creating a QR code and an infographic. I can definitely see myself using both in my future teaching. These tools can make learning more interactive and encourage students to be creative and work together. I especially like the idea of using QR codes to help students and teachers connect. For example, by linking to videos where they can introduce themselves and most importantly it can provide access to course content.

This is my first time taking an online class, and I must admit, it is a bittersweet feeling. On one hand, I'm unsure of what to expect. On the other, I'm genuinely excited about all the new things I will be learning along the way. It is also my first time creating a blog! As you can probably tell, I'm not much of a social media person, so this is definitely a new experience for me. Still, I'm finding it surprisingly enjoyable. There's something powerful about putting your thoughts into words and sharing them, it feels like a meaningful way to grow. So here I am, embarking on this new journey of blogging and online learning.  This week flew by! One of the key things I learned this week is the concept of computational thinking which is the idea of approaching problems in a logical way that allows us to use computers effectively to solve them. This idea really resonated with me. As someone pursuing a future in education, I see how important it is to use technology as ...

It was really interesting to read about the advantages and benefits of using social media in education and inside classrooms. I strongly agree that schools can use social media to organize group projects, communicate with students outside of class, share resources, and much more. In addition, social media has the potential to connect schools to the wider community. I currently work as a substitute teacher for LAUSD. Recently, I taught at Diego Rivera Learning Complex- Green Design High School, where I saw a great example of how social media is used. Students in the media production club record videos throughout the week and share school news every Friday. This activity helps students get involved and be creative while making videos. Students also use Instagram to share school news and promote different clubs. One important point mentioned in the readings is that teachers must act as responsible and attentive administrators to prevent and address inappropriate behavior. I completely ag...

We're now in the fourth week of school, and things are definitely getting busier. Reading about Web 3.0 and how it has evolved from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 really got me thinking, it reminded me of the movie iRobot . I know that might sound a bit funny, but it’s amazing (and a little scary) to see how quickly the internet is changing. It's no longer just on our computers but soon it will be everywhere! I want to stay hopeful that these changes will benefit society and lead to even more innovative ways for us to connect online. One thing that really stood out to me from our readings is how our use of the internet has grown and will keep growing. What fascinated me most was learning that we are not just consuming content but we are actually creating it. That really hit home for me, especially as I write this blog post. By sharing my thoughts and experiences in this class, I’m becoming an active part of the online community. I will end with a quote from this week’s module that really r...
