Artifacts

I am thrilled by the results of the survey that I gave my students. Their opinions of my class show that many feel that the material is accessible to them and that my classroom is a safe space. It also demonstrates the tools available to educators through Google–I gave my students a form and sent the responses to a spreadsheet, which I in turn could edit to include visuals and averages of the responses.

My students love sports, so I created a video inclusive to students with disabilities, showing that everyone can play sports together. I have always loved sports as a way to community-build, whether you’re on or off the field. This video represents my own personal background and also is relatable to my students while encouraging them to be kind and inclusive.

This timeline shows how technology has always been a part of my life. I’ve taken computer science classes since middle school, I’ve always had my favorite hobby be video games, and I have always considered myself tech-savvy and a resource to my peers. I used Miro and tried to make it visually appealing and easy to understand.

This Moovly assignment serves as an introduction to Algebra I and shows how my students can succeed in my class. I included a quote that I say on Day One of all of my classes–that everyone can succeed in math! I make sure that my students know that I am available and there to support them.

This artifact was a collaboration between myself and my classmate, Quinn Kendall. It is a helpful visual to summarize all that we have learned about computer science and technology integration in secondary education. We chose to put it in the shape of a calculator because we both teach math in secondary schools. It was created in Canva.
