Tech Task #9: Infographics

This was a very interesting task that we had. I think that overall, infographics are an awesome tool when used effectively. My critiques with them would be that they can appear cluttered if there are too many, or if they are a little unorganized. Also, I think you have to be very careful with what kinds of information you put on there. For example, there are a lot of infographics used in politics. With that being considered, a lot of things can be take out of context. However, I definitely see myself utilizing infographics in my classroom, and I have found a few that are interesting that you could maybe use in your classroom.

Now for my own infographic design, I am always interested in how I can teach physical skills to students and young players/athletes. So I made this poster for beginners or early years on how to kick a ball. Feel free to use it if you wish.

Week 2: Machines versus Humans

 For this weeks post I’d like to focus on at topic brought up in Mondays presentation. The question/topic was basically asking if machines could ever replace human educators.  This whole area brings me back to a class in my undergrad called “Perception.” One of the things we discussed in that class was artificial intelligence (A.I). A lot if tasks were around that, one of which being completing our own turing test. Basically, if any artificial intelligence can make a human believe that “they” are undistinguishable from another human, they pass the test. No A.I has passed to date. However, A.I today is extremely high tech, and getting closed. Just look at Sophia on YouTube to see what I mean.  So do I think a machine can ever pass a turing test? Yes, eventually. Do I think that once this happens it makes it more likely humans can be replaceable? In short, yes. However, we are not there yet, and I do not believe educators are replaceable. One reason we are not yet replaceab...

Week 8: What's your unfair advantage?

 In this weeks presentation, this was the question which resonated with me, "what's your unfair advantage?" I think that is one of the most interesting things to ask someone in an interview. Its essentially like asking what special or unique qualities you bring, but the way its structured almost implies that you have to really think about your answer.  I love how grounded this presenter was as well. He mentioned how its not always realistic to present your qualities to its highest format, as it can be draining physically and mentally. That's why I am also a strong believer that teachers taking care of themselves and finding ways to work on regulating their work is EXTREMELY important.  After being asked that question, I thought of some answers, and I honestly feel like at the time my answers would not have sufficed. The question is structured in a way that makes my answer almost feel insufficient. With that being said, I don't think that's what its intention i...
