I'm super excited to start my Master's Journey. I have followed my path and advice of being a life long learner. I have been involved in educational technology through out my teaching journey and I continue to try to understand how to learn and teach with it (I'm pretty sure this will be a lifelong journey for sure). I am currently the Math/Science Leader at Archbishop M.C. O'Neill Catholic High School. I am very interested in learning more about online and blended learning in this course. I am also excited about connecting with others and growing my professional learning network. Of course learning a class from Alec is an experience I am very interested and excited about. Have I mentioned how excited I am about this??? I may have an opportunity to teach an online course in the near future so the timing for this is perfect. I am interested in: 1)How to design a robust online/blended experience 2)Want to find out how to motivate learners online 3)Differentiate lessons online 4)Teach digital citizenship in this environment 5)Best harness the power of social media to enrich and engage learners. I believe that online learning is here to stay and will continue to grow. I am excited to be a part of this exciting (there's that word again) course and learning experience. Over the past few years I have really turned to Twitter as a major source of my professional development. I am scrolling, reading, and commenting on Twitter basically daily plus adding my own content usually sticking to sharing my happenings in my class or projects I'm working on or have been a part of. I enjoy twitter chats and do a weekly chat on Mondays from 6:30-7:00 PM called #formative chat and have been involved in nation and global Tweet Meet ... here's a blog and Twitter Moment I created on this experience https://deanvendramin.weebly.com/blog/tweet-meet-is-sweet I also love compiling Tweets for my school (run O'Neill's Twitter Account) and myself ... for this I have Wakelet very useful here are a few compliations I have put together for myself - https://wakelet.com/@vendi55 You can follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/vendi55 or to learn more about me visit my eportfolio deanvendramin.weebly.com Checking in to ECI 834 on Zoom w/ Dr. Alec Couros.
