EDTC 300 - Learning Project

 Hello! 😊 My name is Amelia, and I'm sharing my learning experience for this course 📚. Instead of writing a blog post, I made a video to chat and share what I've been doing throughout the class 🎥. I joined the class a bit late and missed the first lesson 😔. During the second class, Cody and Megan filled me in on everything I missed, and I recommended two apps to help them with their project 📲. Throughout the course, I've helped others in every breakout room, provided advice, and reminded them of deadlines ⏰. I helped my best friend Kylee, who was also in the class with me, and someone on Discord who asked about being an EA 💻. I've also engaged in discussions on my blog and received feedback, which helped me improve my work 💬. Overall, I'm pleased with the contributions I've made to the learning of others during this course 😌. Thank you for watching my video 🙏. Check out my website for pictures of dogs 🐶! Enjoy the video! ASL you later, alligator! 🤟🐊

In the constantly evolving digital world, the topics we explored in class continue to be important, prompting introspection and sparking crucial conversations about our online presence and rights. From cyber-vigilantism to the intricacies of digital footprints and the contentious debate surrounding the right to be forgotten, each concept sheds light on the complexities of our digital existence. Join me as I delve into these thought-provoking topics and reflect on their implications in today's digital frontier. Cyber-Vigilantism and Cyber-Shaming: Cyber-vigilantism, driven by the power and anonymity of online platforms, has emerged as a mixed blessing in the realm of digital justice. While it can be a powerful tool for holding wrongdoers accountable and raising awareness about social injustices, it also carries the potential for abuse and vigilantism. The fine line between righteous advocacy and cyber-shaming is often blurred, highlighting the need for ethical considerations and res...

As someone who is knowledgeable about technology,  my passion is equipping students with the necessary skills to thrive in today's digital world. Literature and writing provide a natural opportunity to integrate digital literacy principles, which empower students to navigate the vast online landscape with confidence and discernment. The NCTE framework  has great goals for people who do not know where to start.  To guide students through media analysis exercises, I draw from resources such as "Media Literacy in the K-12 Classroom" by NAMLE and "The Challenge of Defining 'Fake News'" by The New York Times. Together, we dissect online articles and social media posts, probing their credibility, bias, and sources. Such activities help students gain a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding digital information, arming them with the critical thinking skills they need to navigate the digital realm. However, it's not just about analyzing content...

  Approaching cyber safety and digital citizenship in schooling was an important part of my educational journey. Instead of using scare tactics, my teachers took a proactive and educational approach. Through engaging lessons and discussions, they focused on teaching proper online behaviour, privacy protection, and ethical conduct in digital spaces. This approach was incredibly beneficial, as it equipped me with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the digital landscape confidently.  As a future educator, I am passionate about implementing a comprehensive approach to digital citizenship in my classroom. I aim to create a culture where students develop a deep sense of responsibility and empathy in digital interactions. To achieve this, I plan to integrate digital citizenship seamlessly into various aspects of the curriculum. Through hands-on projects, collaborative discussions, and reflective activities, students will explore the nine elements of digital citizenship mea...

 Title: "Navigating the Digital Landscape: Transforming Education in the Age of Participation" In our rapidly evolving digital world, the intersection of technology and education has become a pivotal point of discussion. As we delve into the impact of our digital evolution on education, we find ourselves pondering the profound changes reshaping the classroom landscape. Inspired by the insights gleaned from lectures and the thought-provoking video "An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube" by Wesch, it's clear that we're witnessing a profound cultural shift toward participation. In this new era, individuals actively engage, create, and share content in digital spaces, reshaping how we learn, connect, and interact. Looking ahead, it's evident that future classrooms must embrace technology as a catalyst for collaborative learning, creativity, and global connectivity. Imagine classrooms as vibrant hubs where students are empowered to actively participate, ...

Got a minute? Let me tell you about my tech-filled day. Technology is more than just a tool; it's my BFF. It's a part of my routine, both academically and personally. Want to join me on my digital journey? I'll show you my favourite websites, apps, and tools that make my day run smoothly. First off, let me introduce my digital haven. Dashlane is my trusty password keeper that sits on my desktop and mobile devices, saving me from the hassle of forgetting passwords. There is a free version and a premium version. I know not everyone will trust it, but for someone with a poor memory, it's a lifesaver. Honey is my shopping sidekick that will automatically add coupon codes to my purchases, making every online purchase a money-saving adventure. And then there's Grammarly , my reliable companion that saves me from the pitfalls of imperfect spelling. I have used it for years, and as someone who is an English minor, my grammar is usually good, but my spelling needs a lot of...

Greetings! I'm Amelia Ciarciaglini, your friendly neighbourhood EA. Currently based in White City, I split my time between Regina Public School Division and Prairie Valley School Division. However, I'm currently working with the fantastic kids in my 2/3 class at Imperial School. Spreading joy is my forte, and my secret weapon is the "ita bag" that showcases my vibrant pin collection. It's a hit with the kids, bringing smiles to every school I visit. Teaching wasn't my initial plan, but being an EA has become my passion. Each day, I find joy in making a positive impact on these young minds. Receiving gifts from the kids is a cherished highlight, and my collection of drawings and tokens from every school is a testament to the joy they bring.  Beyond the classroom, I'm a Minecraft enthusiast, and when it comes to music, I'm a triple threat, playing piano, bass clarinet, and ukulele as well as more. Despite facing a speech impediment and being able to be u...
