EdTech 479
Nicholas Weber
Then and Now
Academic Goals: To become a better educator in terms in
incorporating technology into my Elementary classroom.

Reflection: This class accomplished exactly that. Going into


it I had no idea how many resources there were for younger
students. Within the EdTech platforms I was familiar with,
there are so many new ones to try out.

Character Goals: To teach my class how to responsibly use


the internet and its resources.

Reflection: This was a big thing I accomplished in class.


From misinformation to digital responsibility, I learned
everything I need to know in order to ensure my future
students stay safe and have fun online.
Reflection #1 - “TRUST ME” Manipulation Presentation

● Personally I found this to be my favorite and most


proud work of the semester. I thoroughly enjoyed the
prompt of studying misinformation on the internet.
Prior to this class, misinformation had been
something I studied in my free time. Comparing
different media outlets especially, led me to including
a clip from Vice’s “Bernie Blackout” which exposes https://docs.google.com/pres

LT : I can investigate a key aspect of manipulation and explain it to others via a mini-presentation.

What Went Well? What Didn’t go Well?


●Executed the learning target, and the
outcome of a presentation ● Potentially insinuating
●Used unique sources from real life political bias
events ● Didn’t use many primary
●Taught classmates new information
sources

Key Takeaways : I thoroughly completed this assignment with


motivation based on my past knowledge and learning. Although I used a
political video, it was perfect for the scenario. I could’ve used more sources
but overall I shared new information and statistics with my peers.
Reflection #2 - Blog
● I can admit that my blog and its posts
weren’t as well as I wanted them to be.
Research isn’t my favorite thing to do
https://fixnicks.weebly.com/
and compiling sources is something
I’m still working on. Being thorough in
work was something I failed at. These
posts are a grow area for me. Too many
times I drew from experience and not
LT : I can create a blog to explore and share emerging EdTech topics by writing brief and informative blog posts.

What Went Well? What Didn’t go Well?


●I created blog posts that shared
information with peers.
● A lack of information
●I used the most useful websites to
● Drawing too much from
personal experience
add to my information
● Didn’t use the best
sources
● Blog was plain without
“spice”
Key Takeaways : I wasn’t motivated for this assignment. I prefer
speech over writing. I felt like my information was repetitive and I didn’t
accomplish much. If I were to do this again I’d want to make my blog more
personal instead of a generic page.
How am I? How was the Semester?

Learning and Teaching - The Direction of my Future

This class has taught me a lot. The world of


EdTech is growing every day and I want to
incorporate it as a positive in my classroom.
Online responsibility is big, I want to ensure
my students are responsible online, it’s the
only way to stay safe. I hope my school is
well-funded, as I’ve learned in this class it can
be difficult to get necessary materials, but I’ll
fight for it.
