Enjoyed the presentation by Dr. Alec Couros.

Opened up some ideas on how digital media tools can be used in the classroom, and yet provide students flexibility with options to present information:

  • Students makes GIFS
  • Youtube –I am wary of having students create their own videos and post them online for course work due to Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act
  • Good suggestions on inquiry based learning and modelling with content that gets student to think about learning new skill sets, and the process involved with learning along with scientific literacy.

  • Some other individuals that have interesting content are ze frank http://www.zefrank.com/ in which I have seen some of his project work posted through facebook and other channels.
  • Mike Boyd https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIRiWCPZoUyZDbydIqitHtQ has a channel in which he learns new skill sets. I think this would be a great model for starting the Scientific Inquiry Process for Science 9
