Course+Reflection

My experience with this course has truly been a life changer. By this I mean I have learned valuable tools that I can use regularly including inside the classroom, at home, at work, and anywhere else. Creating the Avatars was the most valuable because I enjoy having the freedom to create digital art that is a direct reflection of me. It also excites me that I can incorporate this idea in my classroom. In order to create a digital-friendly environment it is probably a great idea to personalize, to promote autonomy, to build self-esteem, and to encourage the use of technology on a regularly basis. I also appreciate the instructor for being available and ensuring to the best of her ability that we understood the process of using technology as it relates to culture. On another note, the least valuable experience is writing a paper about AI. Though I learned some things, I was completely taken by this topic never being one that I was interested in.
