Technology, like clay, can take on many shapes and forms.  It can be used in many different ways. Although learning to use technology can seem overwhelming, I found it helpful to think about technology as simply a tool. Once you learn to use it and what it can do, you start to think of all of the different and creative ways to use it! During my MET journey, I learned the importance of tools, how to choose them, use them, and create them. Becoming comfortable with the tools was an important step in overcoming my fear around  technology. 

The first artifact I share here is a presentation that I created on incorporating equity, diversity, inclusion, decolonization, and anti-racism (EDIDA) into makerspaces.  I used Canva (a new to me tech tool) to create this interactive presentation (which I can use as a teaching tool!).  The second artifact I am sharing represents some of my learning about how to determine technology's usability.  Here, I used technology (a tool) to create a graphic (a new tool) to illustrate my approach (a usuable tool) to evaluating technology's educational usability.
