Upon reading the article, Digital Ghosts in the Modern Classroom, by Ashley Hinck, a few concepts jumped out at me. So I decided to create a Sketchnote to show these topics. This Sketchnote began with the idea that students are losing creativity by wanting these templates and step by step technology methods, where they are not any different from others. I also included that I am a part of this group because I tend to enjoy having clear instructions, and this assignment was definitely outside of my comfort zone. However, as much as I am a part of this majority and am outside of my comfort zone, it is important to realize that some of my students may feel outside of their comfort zones in my subject areas. This is why I also included the need to try and encourage more creativity and diversity in our students because no matter what course you teach, there will always be students outside of their comfort zone. However, if we create a strong environment where this creativity is encouraged, students may feel that they are allowed to experiment and try new things, and may even learn that they have a new skill or passion through it. By doing this, there will probably also be a decline in these digital ghosts and an incline in creators and differences. I also believe that it will help create a more positive learning experience for all students involved.
I also really enjoyed building this Sketchnote, despite it being outside of my comfort zone for an assignment. It is also a user friendly source because you are creating it yourself. However, I did find it was difficult to show the meaningful connections to teaching through this source, and would potentially try a different source for future discussion posts.
