“It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood”

Okay, I am going to be honest here.  I haven’t had a chance yet to join one of the #ETMOOC Blackboard Collaborate classes online.  I have added them all to my calendar with great intentions, but they all seem to be at a time where I already had a previous engagement or was still in the middle of my schoolday.

My Intro Video for #ETMOOC

ETMOOC. Here we go:

The first assignment was to create an introductory video about ourselves.  I have made quite a few videos on iMovie lately and seem to keep finding myself in situations in which I have to talk about myself.  That can be awkward, can’t it?

#ETMOOC

I have never participated in a MOOC before, but the other day I noticed a bunch of people tweeting about #ETMOOC and I thought it looked interesting.  At first I was a little nervous about committing to a course since I am already teaching full time and in a part time Graduate Diploma Program at SFU, but once I realized that this MOOC is classified as a network-based MOOC where participation is “encouraged but not mandatory”, I was in!

Here is the Learning Outcome & an iPod…GO!

We tried something new this past month in Health & Career 6/7.  Hugh McDonald and I wanted to give the students more opportunities to be creative (besides their Genius Hour time of course), so we gave groups of 4 students a Learning Outcome and an iPod and said make a short 60 second movie (inspired by Dean Shareski) proving your understand this Learning Outcome:

“Describes the benefits of being physically active on attaining and maintaining a balanced, healthy lifestyle” (BC Prescribed Learning Outcome)

Students had a wonderful time creating these short movies.
