In week two we will begin our seminar using the synchronous meeting to discuss the readings and resources shared and discovered throughout the week. In advance of our meeting please review the following resources and add at least one annotation to one of the texts. You might annotate something that you would like to discuss more thoroughly, have questions about, or something you strongly agree or disagree with. The intention of the annotations is to make your reading and sensemaking visible to our class and use these artefacts as a source for further debate when we meet. Your annotations, as long as they are posted to the EDCI 565 group, are only available to view by individuals in our class.

If you are having trouble or have questions about annotating with Hypothes.is, please reach out to me directly, I am here to help!

Resources to Bring to Week Two

This task should not be laborious and I hope you will have some fun and use creativity while considering it. Please create or select two images, diagrams, collages, or mindmaps that represents who you are as both a learner and a teacher. These images will be presented during our second class with a brief overview from each student.

WordPress Setup

In this course you have an opportunity to create a WordPress site that can serve as a professional practice portfolio/website. This would be owned and fully controlled by you and would be available for you to develop beyond the duration of our course. I can support the setup of the site to get you started and you can use this website to share reflections and assignments from the course. This is an optional activity, and there are many ways to control privacy and access by the public. If you are interested in getting started, please first review this document then access this tutorial to get started.

Here is an example of what a teacher portfolio might look like. This was completed by a student from our EdTech Masters Program.
