EDCI 336 Summary

This is me now. This term, I have been working towards connected, open learning, and these are some of the things that have done along the way:

• Blogging
  • I started off on this Blogger page, but
  • Ended up starting this WordPress blog (after attending a workshop about The Open Web)
• Tweeting
  • Participating in Twitter chats
    • I connected with other student-teachers through #BCStuTeach.
    • I connected with educators across British Columbia through #BCEdChat.
    • I also tried out #EdChat and #TeacherFriends to connect with a wider range of educators.
  • I facilitated #edci336chat, using what I learned about Twitter chats through participation and asking members of my PLN.
  • This term, I have been tweeting out highlights from what I have been doing in classes and workshops
    • Conferences
      • #EdCampVic
      • #Actua2015
    • I have learned, been inspired, and expanded by PLN through this process.
• Creating STEM Puns cartoons, and sharing them
  • via Facebook
  • via Twitter
• Using Google docs
  • EdCampVic
  • Group projects
  • Coursework
• Using Storify to curate
  • Twitter chats
  • an Inquiry project
• Started using Evernote
  • Keeping track of resources
• Started listening to podcasts, such as Invisibilia
• Started listening to Audiobooks on Overdrive.
• Throughout the term, I answered tech questions from my classmates, particularly about Twitter and Storify.
• Through Twitter, I connected with the Royal BC Museum. Because they saw my interests in science outreach expressed on Twitter, they approached me with a project idea. I am now collaborating (using Trello) with them on an outreach project about species at risk that uses comic-making. For this project, I have been able to share one of the tech tools that I found out about this term. The plan is to share the ideas generated on the museum portal. Stay tuned!

Will I continue to blog, tweet, and stay connected throughout my career? Tech yeah!
