This week was our Tech Pod Presentations! It came up so quickly! The topics covered were Teacher Influencers, Technology to Promote Wellness and Learning, Movement Breaks, Assistive Technology, Gamification, and the Ethical Components of Technology and Screens. All of the groups had unique topics but they all seemed to tie together- meaning there were a lot of resources shared and ethical conversations had. Majority of the groups did podcasts, which is an easy form to share research and information with others. My group did a video as that made sense for our topic of movement break videos because it allowed us to demonstrate our resources.

For Elena, Tasia, Taiya, and Olivia, and I’s presentation, we highlighted how we communicated, the technology we used and the information our video covers. Using Google Docs, Google Slides, and WhatsApp allowed us to do majority of the work independently. Our meetings in person were mostly done to make sure we were all on the same page on the content and vision of our project. Communication via texting is great but it also leaves room for misinterpretations, which we experienced.

I am very excited to go through the other group’s final projects and hear how the podcasts turned out!
