This week we had the chance to share what we've been working on for the past few weeks through a variety of group presentations. The best part about this is I don't think we had two presentations that were anything like the others! Everyone had unique ideas and different ways of sharing their findings.
A variety of things stood out for me within these presentations. The first thing being "BYOD's" live chat stream calling Today's Meet. This was a great way to engage all of us by giving us the opportunity to comment and ask questions throughout the presentation, which were addressed often. Not to mention their method of delivering some of their material- through wordle. Such a good idea, considering our class is all about creativity and using multiple technological devices and resources, this was perfect!
One of my favorite moments of the whole class was Stephanie, Sarah & Scott, Adrienne & Steve's movie clip on "Cyberbullying". Not only did they find a way to get through to people about the dangers of cyberbullying, but their approach displayed the media's role in sensationalizing the news. They explained how serious of an issue this is, but also touched on John Finch's presentation on how to handle social media and rationalize what you are hearing.
All in all, everyone did a fantastic job at presenting their topics and made for an extremely enjoyable 2 hour class! Brooke, Jen, and Anna discussed the idea of blocking websites from kids and the limitations that it could bring, while keeping in mind student's safety and best interest. Jennifer A., Tyler, Kirsten, Lisa, and Kelsey scared us, I mean, showed us "How NOT to steal from the Internet"!! Such an important topic that even at university level is something that should never be taken lightly! (And it's not all that easy, either!).
