Module 5 Badge Appliction

[Chris McGrath]

Over the past several weeks I have been reflecting on the importance of creativity in terms of online content, and the overall use of digital text and tools within a classroom.  I have supplemented these reflections with written lesson plans regarding these topics.  My website contains a blog that contains links to these reflections and lesson plans.  I am also working on getting these lessons onto my "Work" page, which contains various forms of content that I have constructed (both for this class and the #WalkMyWorld project).  I have also posted these links on my twitter page and in the google group, in order to expose my content to more people.  I believe that one's digital identity (particularly if you are an educator) should reflect your strengths and creative capacity.  It gives you the chance to show people what you are interested in, and gives you the chance to utilize a variety of strategies and tools that you can incorporate into your classroom to facilitate student creativity as well.

Good work Chris.

I have been watching your work over the past couple of months and agree that you've taken these ideas to heart. Not only are you showcasing it in your own work, but you're thinking deeply about possibilities to embed it in instruction. I urge you to continue to blog, work on your digital portfolio, and think about ways to bring this learning to your students. The field will continue to evolve. As you continue to think and make this happen, you evolve with it.

Badge awarded.
