This week in Technology we learned about the importance of using digital media in the classroom. This can be done in a variety of ways, posters, powerpoint, infographics etc…
We learned various sites that can be done to help implement this in the classroom. Canva is my personal favourite because I appreciate how I can access my Canva account from anywhere, my phone, tablet or laptop! I also appreciate how Canva has free and paid options making it accessible to anyone. We learned about Photoshop and Illustrator and I learned how illustrator uses vector graphics instead of pixels. This means it’s easily shareable and expandable without losing quality.
I felt like this was such an important class because I believe using different forms of digital media in classrooms is so important! It shows students different ways of learning and visualizing things. I also think that it allows teachers to incorporate personal touches into their work. Teachers know their class best, and this allows them to incorporate what they know is interesting to their class instead of just taking images online.
Overall, I felt this was a really important lesson!
