- In D2L this week introduce yourself and share one goal for your learning in this course.

Something to think about:
As we begin this course, I'd like you to consider the use of selfies in the classroom.
Watch this video by Jonathan Worth. Consider how his story about Selfless Selfies could be included in the classroom for the age/grade in which you hope to teach. Would you do this activity as a classroom teacher? Why or why not? Consider how this type of activity could impact students, promote social justice issues or heighten awareness for a cause. How would you ensure that student privacy and safety is managed and maintained while exploring selfies with students? |
