Engaging in weekly tasks and experimenting with a range of digital technologies has been a great experience. I have had a go creating a digital resource using Wix.com, an interactive map of Australia with external links to relevant learning content. I brainstormed an activity to help develop students understanding of binary codes and I have been experimenting creating digital task cards using weebly and similer programs (see wiki). I appreciate programs like Scratch as a way of engaging students to develop their knowledge and skills in programming, problem solving, thinking mathematically and using logic and reasoning. In addition, I have seen how utilizing tools such as interactive whiteboards and can be a great tool in any classroom.
Developing an understanding of binary codes and acquiring skills like programming, creating blogs, webpages and info graphics is a must for today's teachers.
By engaging with and exploring programs like these, I am confident that these and other resources are a fantastic and useful tool for all learning areas. In addition, they are easily adaptable and applied to suit the required learning content. At first it seemed difficult and complex, although as I experimented and interacted with the creation of these resources I slowly became more familiar and competent with the programs. I now have a clearer vision of how I can adapt and utilize digital resources to create and deliver engaging lessons, and like most new things practice will help a lot.
