To begin the CLMOOC experience, I completed some tasks:
- I introduced myself on the G+ community and included my 1st makes of the summer, a personalized coat of arms and a CLMOOC meme.
- I added my pin to the CLMOOC map.
My 1st makes of the summer! Hi everyone - I'm Christina, you can find me on Twitter as @MrsDi. I am the Director of Technology at a K-8 independent school in southeastern New Hampshire. We are putting together a Makerspace for next year (very exciting) and I am looking for ideas, resources, and collaborations to help make it work!
REFLECTION
It may feel silly at first making these types of items, a meme and a coat of arms, but it gets the brain working and creating. It gets me looking online for resources and finding new tools available for creation. As I work through a task like this, there is always a part of me that is thinking about how to use it with students (if at all). Creating a personalized coat of arms could be used in history and reading studies easily, however I wish to think outside of the box. How about having students create a coat of arms based on who they are as digital citizens? As for the meme, students could make memes based on idioms, on science lab rules, etc. I believe that letting students personalize a product helps engage and motivate them. So yes, it was a bit silly as an adult working on these products, but it was engaging. Combining that with some curriculum will be interesting!
