Clipping, Saving, Reading and Sharing with Evernote

I was introduced to Evernote for the first time in my ECMP355 class and I could tell that my teacher really enjoyed it, so I decided to give it a try. Indeed, Evernote is awesome! With this program, you can clip web pages, pictures, articles or just text that you want from a page, and

Experimenting with Piktochart

Today in class, we had the opportunity to experiment with an application that allows you to present information, graphics and data in an interesting way. In order to do that, we used Piktochart, a free online platform that offers you different themes you can play around with, many icons, images and backgrounds that will help

Should “kids” really Ask.fm?

After reading a couple articles about the frightening facts of Ask.fm and teens committing suicide because of Ask.fm, I am wondering if this platform is really worth using. Ask.fm is an anonymous platform, where people can ask each other questions about themselves and respond to the questions, without ever revealing who is who. Although this

My Shoes, Age 5

After this Thursday’s ECMP355 class, I could not wait to start creating my presentation for this week’s assignment! I was inspired by Dean Shareski’s own presentation of “A Childhood Walk”. As most of the roads and trails I took walks on as a child are grid roads, and in the boonies, I could not access

Creative Commons

After watching the documentary RIP: A Remix Manifesto, we were introduced in class to the Creative Commons. Creative Commons is a non-profit organization that allows users to put a Creative Commons license on their work, which allows others to use their work.

RiP: A remix manifesto

Today, I watched a very interesting documentary about downloading music/movies online, copyright and remixing.

TEDEd and SchoolOGY

For this week’s blogging assignment, we were asked to explore a new web tool, app or website that can contribute to teaching and/or learning. As the big computer wiz I am (not), I just entered the words “education tools” in the search bar on Google and came upon this Edudemic post about the “50 Education

Being someone on the Internet

During last week’s class, we explored digital identity of professionals on the Internet. My thoughts: Professional or not, you should always think about what pictures or words that you are posting on the web. You never know what the future holds for you. You might have an offer for an incredible job, the opportunity to

Me & Technology

Being new to this blogging phenomena, I am not certain how to begin. Who am I? Well, my name is Rose and I am a University of Regina student who is currently studying to be an immersion/French elementary school teacher. Very outgoing, I love taking on new challenges and I am looking forward to expanding
