I would like to share what I have learned in the first couple of weeks of EDCI 336.
One large topic we have talked about is FIPPA. FIPPA stands for the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. This act is about getting the consent and approval of others to use their photos or information for your own purposes. We also watched the film Most Likely to Succeed for homework. This film was about the importance of incorporating inquiry into schools and talked about a specific school that has designed their entire classroom structure based on inquiry projects. Throughout the past couple of weeks, we have created an individual openED account, learned how to use twitter/make a professional account, created a Trello account, and found a free inquiry topic.
Competencies covered: privacy & safety, open pedagogy, collaboration (Trello), and social media (twitter and blogging).
