Technologically imperfect.

It’s really a bummer that swearing is inappropriate in the work or school setting, because I have so many things to say but that wouldn’t be allowed.

I really impressed myself up until this point with how open minded I have been and how much I have learned. I really dislike technology, I don’t like being rushed and everything on my phone or my computer moves way to fast for me to catch up. Obviously I think it has it’s benefits and I wouldn’t be able to live without it, but I really don’t like having to figure out something new. It takes me so long to get a grasp of how one computer or website works that it makes give up.

But so far, I have loved everything we have done; I’m pretty excited about twine (https://twinery.org/). I really didn’t think I was going to like it when I first watched the introductory video, but once I got used to the software it was so much fun to think of different possibilities.

what fruit are you???

I wish I could say everything I just said about H5P (or whatever), but I just can’t. This interactive video software thing is so my bully; I feel so lost and confused and then I feel silly for feeling lost and confused because it’s just a computer… but then I get stressed because everyone else has figured it out.

So here’s my video! I’m not even really sure if I know what it looks like yet, but I know that my wiener dog is in it so your welcome:)

I don’t really know how to reflect on this, because I still don’t know how to work it:(

I will say that in class, when Rich played his soccer video, that was really cool and I think it would be a really good way to teach concepts in PHE:

  • maybe just for extra engagement, or to take home
  • I also think it could really be helpful in improving the diversity and inclusivity in PHE
  • allowing students who might not be able to participate 100% of the time to have an interactive experience in a game or sport where they can still be assessed on their decision making skills

Okay wait, that last point I made was so good and I really think someone should do that! Maybe I will one day, we will have to see.

until next time,
