Now that I have your attention, Let’s talk about FAKE NEWS. In the past, it was generally easier to distinguish fake news from the actual real news. Like the title of this post, often times, titles of fake news stories would make unrealistic claims or accusations and almost would seem too good or too unrealContinue reading “CLICK HERE TO READ A POST BY THE UofR’s SMARTEST ED STUDENT”

CYBER-SLEUTHING/ Importance of Digital Identities
CYBERSLEUTHING Last week in EDTC 300 we had the chance to work in a group to “Cyber-sleuth” a certain individual! We were then tasked with doing some of this cyber sleuthing on our own, about one of our classmates. It’s actually pretty cool (or crazy?) what you can find out about someone just from doingContinue reading “CYBER-SLEUTHING/ Importance of Digital Identities”

Blast to the past…. LET ME TAKE YOU BACK TO A TIME OF THE PAST FOR A MOMENT. Grade 9 in my old high school. I JUST got a new iPhone 5c (it was yellow), and I’m sitting at the back of the room in Health class. I got this NEW PHONE in the pocketContinue reading “Diggin’ Digital Citizenship”

Last week when our EDTC 300 class participated in the #saskedchat, I began to really like Twitter for the first time. … Continue reading tweet tweet

This week we were tasked with getting an RSS reader to start following some blogs and other educational resources. I decided to get a Feedly account to begin my search there! At the start, I honestly had NO CLUE as to what I was doing or really what I should be doing. In the search … Continue reading Functional, fascinating, fool proof, Feedly!

Hey EDTC 300 classmates! Thanks for checking out my first blog post for this class! My experience with educational technology, as well as with technology in general, is quite limited. The *fart noise* in the title of this post sort of explains my feelings NOW towards technology, but through the learning I do in this … Continue reading Educational Technology *fart noise*
