#UWinDig 2020

I would like to inform you that I did study the article “Digital Ghosts in the class room” by Ashley Hinck. I made a sketch note with key points.

This article describes on the lack of creativity coming from students when it comes to Digital Pedagogy due to how they are taught in the school system. It talks about the fact that students are so afraid of failure, that they will not try something new or more challenging. For this assignment, I planned to carry out a sketch note. I would like to challenge myself. I usually stay away from anything pertaining to art, but I wanted to try something new. I carried out this assignment on banking concept for financial information, knowledge of technology as a platform to update for internet and relative websites information. Creative school and traditional cultures had significant impact on digital ghost ideas.

The first topic I would like to add was the activities of GIF, HTMW and the process of using CSS websites, videos etc. The Article explains how students always think to do the assignment that will be less creative, but will give the teacher what they want. Students are taught throughout their education that doing simple drag and drop tasks will get you the top marks. I updated the logos of YouTube and Canva. Ashley Hinck goes into detail about how Canva, YouTube and Facebook work together to bring the users a easy drag and drop experience. This helps people put aside their creative side and take part in a simple user experience that these platforms use.

The next topics I visited were the degree of digital media applications, the idea of books and electronics as Hinck calls it, and the importance of trial and error. The concepts that people have so much potential when they use more complex applications, instead of drag and drop apps that they usually use. “The New Worksheet” idea looks at how the basic digital projects that students know well, is like giving out an old fashion worksheet. Like a worksheet, there is no creativity in a linear digital project. I put trial and error because the article expresses the important process of trying, failing and getting it just right. We can not trial and error as world having a lot of different applications.

The professional ideas and banking model topics I tackled on my sketch note were the examples of the lego, the linear and ethical thinking of digital projects in education, and the idea that we are all makers, creators, and speakers. The article uses the example of a lego to explain what kind of digital projects we should be doing in the classroom. Building legos with no instructions allows us to be open, creative and have agency. The article says these things should be in all digital projects throughout our schooling. The author feels that digital projects in traditional school culture only provide a linear approach to thinking, instead of being open, creative, and having agency. The article also tells that teachers should be giving students the tools to be makers, creators, technologist and speakers. Instead of linear projects, there should be more complex projects that allow students to reach their potential.

Thinking a sketch note helped me to put the information from this article into action. I carried out of my comfort zone and tried something I was not comfortable with. It allowed me to try some trial and error creating this artifact. It did not turn out exactly how I wanted it, but I will keep trying to perfect it throughout time. This article provided me with a lot of information that I will take with me into my classroom. I will add some creative digital projects that will allow my students to use their creativity. I will try to give my students the tools they need to become makers, creators, and speakers. I will also help to increase my Digital Pedagogy. Multi-media had a series of product based influences for personal risk and that market was natural. YouTube, Videos, GIF, HTMW, CSS were the updated applications to get information as social media. Finally, professional knowledge could incorporate all of those ideas in practical aspects of school creativity.

I would like to inform you that I did study the article “Digital Ghosts in the class room” by Ashley Hinck. I made a sketch note with key points.

1. YouTube, GIF, HTMW, and CSS:  Students needs to know how to make GIFs, YouTube videos, and HTML, CSS websites. They are used to make funny photo shopped pictures of their friends and capable to make personalized GIFs. They are used to get digital skills as increasingly important for jobs, both summer internships and careers after graduation. Students enter their class convinced that what they will learn to do will be useful in their professional and personal lives. Students assume their ideas in digital media: i) drag-and-drop, ii) a master of well-laid out, linear, and standard steps and iii) personal information, guaranteed working product etc.

1. Digital Multi-Media: Usually, template websites and platforms are the new worksheet. Students might shift to a more critical digital pedagogy by leaving those template websites and platforms behind. They might turn instead to technologies that enable and privilege openness and experimentation, like Raspberry Pi, Scratch, and HTML and CSS etc. They can trade more-flexible image manipulation software like Photoshop, videos. Resources help to students draw on their past experience of both school and their digital worlds. The ghosts of worksheets, templates, and shortcut websites linger on, hovering over their learning as well as teaching.

1. Professional Ideas:  Actually, students’ assumptions about education and digital media making aren’t panning out because they can see the frustration that experience. The frustration in their faces, and they hear their frustration on their course evaluations. It creates frustration from not getting their project working perfectly. It is a deeper frustration that their different ways of thinking.

1. Banking Model:  Students can redefine interesting learners apart from the banking concepts of education, ideas to give them explicit permission to try and fail and revise. In addition, they can share critiques of school culture with pedagogical choices. They are making clear the vision for learning and embrace. This movement toward trial-and-error and tinkering. Students have more of their own failures and enacted and demonstrated the tinkerer, trial-and-error approach explicitly, attitudes. During every class for two weeks, they set aside 15 minutes of class time for students to troubleshoot with partners. This helped students to see their projects as works in progress, proposal to maintain troubleshooting.

1. Technological Knowledge (Internet etc): The internet is full of websites and platforms that make easier and introduce the need for technical knowledge. Google, apps provide pre-made themes for slideshow presentations, taking away the need for the user to make choices about font, color, and placement. GIPHY allows internet users to create GIFs using only YouTube URLs. WIX uses a survey to learn about a user’s aesthetic style before recommending themes for a homepage built through drag-and-drop sections.

1. Creativity School and Traditional Culture: As critical digital pedagogues, students have to find ways to help students as makers, creators, speakers. They have to help themselves by using shortcut template platforms and websites. Actually they have shortcut template platforms and websites as models. Students should not have to settle for half-hearted, structured participation. They can become full, active, empowered participants. Students make possibilities beyond the exact outcome prescribed by creativity, template platforms, websites and their corresponding worksheets. Students needs to keep plugging away at disturbing the assumptions. They can use those resources in their working place. An urgently-needed ‘ontological turn’ in higher education is a greater concern. It is a concept of relation to teaching, learning, and nurturing in students of the ability of intellectual uncertainty and inventing new ideas as creative schools.

I carried out this assignment on banking concept for financial information, knowledge of technology as a platform to update for internet and relative websites information. Creative school and traditional cultures had significant impact on digital ghost ideas. Multi media had a series of product based influences for personal risk and that market was natural. YouTube, Videos, GIF, HTMW, CSS were the updated software to get information as social media. Finally, professional knowledge could incorporate all of those ideas in practical aspects.
