For this activity I wanted to try something new while including a learning journey of this course! I decided to make videos since it is a multimedia principle of learning , which aligns with the UDL guidelines and diverse learners. Thus the key outcome it reflected was “examine and reflect upon the potential for equitable access for all learners in online and open learning contexts” .

I learned how Padlet allows students to feel empowered (outcome: “Develop an awareness of the potential of human-centered learning in online and open learning contexts”) and inclined to learn (anonymous questions). It also helps foster peer learning as students can respond to questions as well!

Here is the Padlet I created based on the response! https://padlet.com/brittanyjohnson2/

I found this video very interesting and it also supported my question!

Dr Brown’s webinar followed the outcome of “Exploring and engaging with current literature on the distributed and open education movement”. This was attained by the multiple resources she shared (Jamboard and Padlet for example). I learned how relationship building and ice breakers can be done in open and distributed environments. 

Overall, Twitter has helped me develop a long-term open learning community that extends beyond my classmates (through retweets, followers, resources…). The outcome reflected is “Practice digital networked and open literacies in support of learning about distributed and open learning” as it allows us to learn and openly share ideas.

Below compares online vs classroom learning. One may be more beneficial than another depending on various factors and situations. This can and should look different for each student as everyone has unique needs. We must value all contexts to create a human-centered model #edci339 pic.twitter.com/2bH7O9Bbce

The pandemic has expanded our understanding of online learning but also possibilities. Online learning has helped support the idea of cross-curriculars. Thus enabling voice and choice by empowering students to be engaged/ learn through multiple disciplines+hands-on ed! #edci339

This pandemic is a learning curve. It stressed that we are constantly learning and adapting. Keeping an open mind to value everyones unique ideas and experiences is crucial. Thus collaboration and interaction are key factors to consider both online and in person learning!#edci339

Teaching is all about building relationships and safe environments. Learning is a process where we need to consider collaboration, personal growth and mistakes. Sometimes mistakes are scary in open learning, but we must design a safe space where ALL ideas are valued #edci339
