EDM 510 Blog

I chose to post my web research on a padlet. I have seen many educators use padlet and I wanted to give it a try. It is very user friendly. I LOVE it and I plan on using this in my classroom. I would to use this for parents. This would be a great place for students to share work and for me to share things to parents. I did not have many challenges using padlet. I thought it was more difficult than what I experienced. I can not wait to see what everyone else used. I love getting new ideas for my classroom.

Image of Kayla Cooper's Learning Theory Matrix This weeks activity required me to not only learn what a matrix was but to refresh up on blogging. It has been quite a while since I have blogged. While I was creating this matrix I used the resources that Dr. Gaston recommended. I also found this website helpful when I was researching connectivism. (  https://www.learning-theories.com/connectivism-siemens-downes.html  ) While I was creating this matrix, I was finding examples of technology that could be used in my classroom as a fourth grade teacher. Each app and website that I mentioned is something that I have implemented in my classroom or plan on implementing. Also, while I was creating this matrix I found it a little difficult to put a description into one sentence for each theory. I feel as it takes a little more than one sentence to describe the theory. All in all, I enjoyed creating this matrix and found it very useful for my classroom now.
