Response to Feedback on Self-Assessment

          Getting feedback from others helps me learn in ways I never could have by myself because the feedback provides me with different perspectives which then enables me to look at the assignment/problem from a new view. 

            After taking in the feedback (thanks Brooke!), I have come to the conclusion that while there are aspects from all categories that I could learn more about, there are two major areas I want to/should focus on:

• Connected Learning
• Computational Thinking

I would learn more about connected learning by reading scholarly articles on the use of social media for professional development as well as a resource in the classroom. Ideally, I would also look up lesson ideas and read content/advice from educators on actual social media sites. Relatedly, I would research the ethical and privacy standards of appropriate use of social media in education. As for computational thinking, I would look into coding and computer science writ large.

While I think learning the ins and outs of the above topics/skills could easily take the rest of the semester, I do have an idea of what I want to prioritize afterwards. First, I would learn more about the topic and tools in collaboration, annotation, and feedback. Second, I would learn about some of the pedagogy behind motivation and engagement in educational technology (as well as some of the tools used by educators). Lastly, I would like to learn a little more about media and content creation such as how to easily convert file types from one to another and how to edit videos.
