For my final multimedia reflection, I decided to do a Twitter essay. In the previous two reflections, I did other platforms and this time rather than doubling down on a platform I decided to try another platform type in order to expand my learning and education of technology in the classroom. My Twitter essay was in response to the Ontario Extend article on technologist Scenario where it talked about how to properly use different tools in our classroom. This response I thought was very important to becoming a better teacher because it allowed me to see the proper steps in order to properly integrate technology into the classroom. It also has allowed me to understand and comprehend exactly what needs to be done as an educator. I thought that the most important part of students knowing how to use technology in the classroom was being able to use it, rather in the article it says the redefine is the most important part for students to understand exactly how to use and understand the technology we as teachers bring into the classroom. I believe that to be technological aware of what is going on in our classrooms we always need to be up to date on the latest technological advancements in our classrooms prior to teaching older outdated platforms to our students.
One part of the eCampus site that really intrigued me was the part about empathy and how love is important when creating these different platforms. Each platform according to the article is made so everybody will understand it and it has to be understood by everybody in order for it to properly work in the classroom.
