Course: The Creative Process Spring 2019
Project Design Question: How might we use digital tools to tell a complex story about immigration?
Reflection: In this project I learned about the process of creativity. I also experimented with online and offline methods of finding inspiration and balance for creativity to flow. I learned how to use gifs, integrate Google Slides with gifs, how to create my own music via Garage Band and make a movie via an iPad Pro. This was a very productive and enlightening project because this project helped me realize I want to find ways to use educational technology to help low income first generation college students thrive in higher education. My thinking is, if I can do it, then I must help others do it too!
Event: Science and Technology Global Consortium 2019 Conference
Project Design Question: How might higher education institutes, in the state of California, address the need for more college educated workers?
Reflection: This project was for a conference held at the National Academy of Sciences. It was a positive experience where I learned how to create a poster using Google Slides. I found a creative way to share information from my Horizon Report on Hybrid Learning for the state of California.
Goal: Utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create a digital journal for teachers.
Project Design Question: How might artificial intelligence tools be utilized to assist Instructional Designers to create learning assets?
Reflection: In this project I was experimenting with image creation via Adobe Express. I analyzed how AI can assist me in creating assets so that the development process takes less time and the output is professional. In the end the results were positive as images created with AI assisted in the production of a digital journal for educators.
Goal: Create a video using various EdTech tools.
Project Design Question: How might I use various edtech tools to create a video that is sincere?
Reflection: In this project I utilized various edtech tools such as Adobe Express to create images and videos, Apple's iMovie to combine the Adove Express assets insert, add music and voiceovers to create a video that express sincere teaching practices, goals and aspirations.
