My EdTech Artifact

Hello again blog!

This week my EDCI 336 class is doing their EdTech project presentations!

My group and I decided to make our project about high tech, low tech, and no tech classrooms, and what the implications to the classroom this may consist of. We also included the pros and cons of using each of these teaching styles with technology, and what our personal opinions about each of them as well.

For our digital artifact, we made a QR code about what kind of classroom do you prefer to learn in? We printed a few of these QR codes and put them around different areas of the school (the gym, the cafeteria, the library, the smoking areas etc). We wanted to see what kind of learning environment past and/or current students prefer to learn in.

We took a screencast of us making this QR code using the website Mentimeter so anyone who watched the video could learn how to make their own QR code too!

Here is that video!

This website is really easy to use, there is also an explanation/introduction video you can watch to learn how to properly use all of it’s features, which I found really interesting.

We chose to add a voiceover to our screencast, simply to ensure that viewers (our classmates) were not only watching the video, but had a brief explanation, since we would not be able to show the entire introduction video.

We made another screencast video demonstrating how our QR code looks when users scan it, and how our question (that we showed you how to make in the previous video) shows up for users!

Here is that video!

I found this assignment and presentation to be really fun, and I really enjoyed making it and learning more about the different styles of teaching with technology!

Here is the link to our CANVA presentation!

As for our artifacts. I recorded both of the screencasts, and then sent the first one to Benny who did the voiceover, and the second to Lela who did the second voiceover, to ensure we each did our own part! 🙂

Thanks blog!
