IMovie!

 

Here is the video I created on Imovie. I was exploring how to create a slow-motion video. With following the instructions and using my prior Imovie knowledge I found it quite easy. I think Imovie is a great tool for education and can be used as an alternative way to display learning. Educating yourself as the teacher about how to use all of the tools on Imovie allows you to help students utilize all that Imovie has to offer.

Lecture by Jesse Miller:  Online Privacy & Safety Expert: Citizenship Online, including Privacy, Safety, Bullying, Consent

Notes:

  • Generational attitudes and understanding of technology 
  • Research in sports and why technology is not a distraction there
  • Mediated reality= company 
    • Social media and mobile technology 
    • Professional responsibilities. Personal meets public
    • @mediatedreality
    • “Part of the guidance role in the 21st century isn’t preparing kids for a reality of the past. It is to help children make sense of their on-demand media and online experiences, teaching, guiding how to uphold enduring values and empowering their communications expectations in the reality they live in, not one we grew up in.”
  • 2020- time to focus on networked citizenship
    • Digital identity
    • Digital rights
    • Digital literacy
    • Use of communication networks- social, professional, personal
    • Safety- networked connections
    • Security of self
  • Some articles aren’t completely correct→ only correlation between social media and the variable being measured
    • Headlines can be misleading
  • Tools help shape our society (technology) 

Analysis:

Jesse Miller gave an incredible lecture to our class today. The way he spoke was very engaging and insightful. His thoughts on social media and the research behind it are very thought-provoking. I value his ability to admit that he is from a generation that will not know what it is truly like to grow up with the level of technology that my generation grew up with.

Reliable sources and social media research:

I don’t really question an article that I read about social media and the correlating factor that the author is measuring, but after his points, I am going to go back into life, and specifically my inquiry, and really question the source and look at if it is causation or just a correlation being measured.

Online privacy and teacher action:

As he transitioned into online privacy and what our future teachers are putting on the internet, the class took a turn. I have thought about this and for the most part filter what I find to be unprofessional on my various social media outlets. But after finding out that there are ways to find what you thought is private, I think I will move forward even more consciously. It is better to be safe than sorry. You have to be able to defend anything that is found about you on the internet and I think it is better to remain with nothing that calls for defence.
