Inclusive design is "design that considers the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age, and other forms of human difference.
This very important in our world today. I have seen many apps and websites that are following up with inclusive design and frankly I do not think teachers should use any such things that are not because it is hurtful to these students who are being left out.
design shapes students' ability to access, participate in, and contribute to meaningful, transformative learning
100% agree with this and the people who are designing such things that are accessible for everyone will be making much more because more teachers should be using these such things.
The agenda outlines classroom activities: (1) watch a CDC video and (2) write an essay on how to reduce the risk of spreading and contracting COVID-19.
I feel a though many classes are designed like this
Students may need to learn in different ways, using different materials, and share what they have learned in different ways to reach the same goals.
Everyone sees things differently and teachers need to be open minded towards that.
When we design the same learning pathways for all learners, we might tell ourselves we are being fair, but in fact, single pathways are exclusionary.
I have never thought of this until I took this class. It really opened my eyes on accessibility and such things that some children need.
The bacon/egg/cheese saga represents the one-size-fits-all scenarios we often see in our classrooms
This was a very good example to show what they are trying to say.
Their breakfast served a single option—a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a biscuit. No substitutions.
This really shocked me especially for the people who cannot have certain foods dealing with food allergies and religious reasons or even just vegetarians.
Through hands-on,
I strongly believe that I learn a lot better through hands-on
Kahoot! is a game-based student response tool. Educators can design or use predesigned Kahoot! games to help
very popular learning tool teachers use
learning theories, Bloom’s taxonomy, and the ISTE Standards for Student
I have never heard of these and am excited to figure out what they are.
how do you find the right tool to create a learning experience that will help your students successfully achieve the lesson or unit learning objectives?
A major question many teachers share
SAMR mode
I have never heard of the SAMR model
a free service that makes money by selling advertisers the ability to customize ads based on our behavior.
I always wondered how I would look something up on the internet and then go on an app like instagram and there would be an add of the thing I was just looking at.
When you don’t pay for the product, you are the product.”
This is crazy to think about because I have never heard of this before, but after all the readings recently is it really shown how this is true.
engaging with artificial intelligence (AI)
I have been seeing AI's all over the internet recently and it is honestly freaking me out
CIPA is the reason sites like YouTube, social media, and even Internet searches may be blocked or filtered in schools.
This was very annoying in high school because there was very little we could do with our Chromebook because of this. It made it very hard to create projects too.
However, this process granted the app “full access to your Google account
This is something I never knew and it has now made ma aware that I need to be careful and actually read the terms and conditions before signing up with my email.
accept the end-user license agreement or terms of service, which may involve giving away even more data, such as your IP address, device information, browser information, geolocation, and Internet browsing data.
I am definitely guilty of seeing things like these that I have to read and agree to. I never read what it actually says I just click agree.
can you really have privacy?
I feel as though there is no such thing as privacy in the world we live in today. It seems devices track everything I do. I could be talking about a certain item and next thing you know I get an add about it somewhere on my phone. I also believe that they track everything we do.
keyboard shortcuts in word processing applications, like Google Docs or Microsoft Word.
This is a very good feature.
When learners arrive at your course for the first time, they should be able to quickly orient to the learning environment.
For me at least if your website is hard to figure out I would simply stop trying and give up. This is because so many websites have so many tricks and things to it that I just was to know how to use it for what I need for and that's it.
Instructors play an integral role in balancing tool use and costs incurred; at best, tool use is open access, covered by tuition, or otherwise subsidized by the institution.
I do not really see this here. I have had to buy so many websites that are only good for one semester and I also could not go without not buying it because that is how we would submit our homework. To me this should not be allowed because we are already paying so much to come here and now we have to pay more just to do our work.
First, instructors are typically experts in their course's subject matter, yet they are not necessarily fluent in the best criteria for evaluating e-learning tools.
I see this being very true teachers can be very educated in the course they are teaching, but not be familiar with technology. One of my teachers this semester is like this. We have our classes on zoom every week and he never knows how to work things on it.
Such requests tend to be accompanied by statements of frustration over the selection process they've undertaken.
Digital tools should be made to be able to work regardless of where the user is to try and get rid of the difficulty many could experience.
how videos include a transcript
Many websites and such are made like this now
so as to enable access for all
I have never really noticed if any websites I have been on are accessible to everyone including people with such disabilities
ging, we have been seeing an increasing need for accessible digital solutions.
As people age they start to lose their key features that they need to live their everyday life like hearing and eye sight. With this being said we need accessible things to help them continue their everyday life with little change being added
why should you think about Accessibility in your UX Design process?
It amazes me how this could be a question because wouldn't you think you would want it to be as accessible as possible so it attracts more people
Many first timers find it overwhelming and question the sanity of the colleague who so highly recommended
Many people can feel this no matter what the form of media is.
Blogging on a regular basis has helped me understand what I do as a teache
I think blogging could have a really positive affect on teachers
it needs to be Personal
This can be intimidating to some because they may not know what exactly to put on their PLN.
When teachers begin their journey towards a Personal Learning Network this is one of the barriers they face; the false belief that their ideas are not worth sharing
This is very sad for them to feel this way, but also I can see where they are coming from. The fear of people bringing them down and I understand that once that happens once it could destroy your motivation to this certain thing.
ourself deep down the rabbit hole of interesting results and forgetting what you initially set out to find.
This is something that definitely happens to me all the time
So, how do you find out about the latest trends, tools, and apps for teaching and learning? And, how do you discover which tools other educators are using with great success?
This is a question that I do not know the answer to and was hoping I would learn what apps and tools to use from this class.
The quantity of content and people on social media can also prove overwhelming as educators must critically assess what and whom to trust
This is very true with everyone being able to put whatever they want online it can become stressful figuring out what is true or not.
In the digital age, educators often turn to multiple spaces
This shows how much media has evolved into us having multiple plat forms to be able to use for such things.
