WEEK 11 REFLECTION

Today we had our class over Zoom, where I was able to come home after PE and do the class from home. I actually really enjoyed being able to do the class over Zoom as it was all self paced. The previous plan for this class was EdCamp in person but as we switched over to online, we had many different activities to choose from. Below I will insert a chart of the different activities we could have joined. There was the option for EdCamp but I think everyone just felt too awkward talking over zoom to do it.

First, I started off by doing the Canva Learning Lab. There was a lot of useful information on this page and I really enjoyed how there was also outside links you could visit. One awesome thing I learned from high school was being able to use Canva. From creating my own posters to building my own slideshow, I loved the creative freedom I had with this website. A great website I got from the learning lab was Coolors. Often times I will look up “soft purple colours” or “fall colour schemes” and I love how this website holds various types of colour palettes. Even going as far to uploading a picture and building a colour scheme from that!

The next activity I did was the tutorial on how to create a virtual classroom. I absolutely loved doing this! I really want to try and incorporate technology into my future classroom and by building this activity. This could be an awesome way of doing it. I followed the video How To Make A Bitmoji Classroom Using Canva, which had super clear instructions and many different ideas that you could add to your own virtual classroom. I ended up making two as I wanted to make my second one holiday themed! Here are the links to each one as I could not upload it as a PDF.
