“In the digital world, we learn by doing, watching and experiencing”
-A New Culture of Learning, Thomas and Brown
There are countless digital resources available, which can often feel overwhelming. However, this course taught me how to effectively select and implement these tools. Through collaborative discussions, I gained insight into how a single digital resource can serve multiple purposes depending on how it's used. The resources will also help strengthen my innovation proposal and call-to-action presentation.
My outline presents the structure of how I plan to raise awareness among educational leaders about using video to enhance an online blended coaching model.
Our peer group utilized a unified rubric to assess each other’s publication drafts, ensuring consistency in our evaluations. Feedback was provided to every member, which helped maintain clear expectations and promote constructive, targeted revisions.
The publication rough draft helped me clearly organize my ideas. Peer reviews helped me improve the structure, clarity, and accuracy, resulting in a stronger article.
Take a look at my media project as I share my view on how video technology can be used as a tool to elevate the art of coaching, teaching and learning.
This article explores how video technology makes coaching more personalized, engaging, and accessible within a blended learning framework.
From Tech-Timid to Tech-Tuned
Throughout this course, I gained valuable insights from my peers’ perspectives and developed a deeper understanding of the publication process and video making. We supported each other by exchanging constructive feedback, feedforward and compliments on our rough drafts, discussion, and media projects, which really helped strengthen our final submissions.
I took the initiative to create a rubric for our group, and one teammate even said, “This rubric is legit”, a small but meaningful compliment that made me smile. To help clarify expectations, I also shared images of assignment examples with the team. I’m proud to say that my rough draft received a perfect score of 50/50 from both my team and my professor. All the long hours spent researching and fine-tuning the design, layout, and formatting truly paid off.
Working with this team was a highlight of the experience. They were funny, encouraging, understanding, dedicated, and professional. Throughout the course, each of us faced life events that sometimes meant working late on assignments but we supported one another every step of the way. Everyone stayed actively engaged and we consistently met our deadlines. Despite the distance, we stayed connected and had each other’s backs. It gives me chills thinking about the power of human connection. I truly enjoyed working with my team.
I also fully enjoyed the course content itself. It introduced me to new technologies I hadn’t used or even considered before. I used to say I wasn’t a “techy” person, which is exactly why I joined the ADL program, to challenge myself. I now see that mindset starting to shift. I’m slowly embracing technology and beginning to see myself as someone who can thrive with it.
My video creation skills have noticeably improved from my early attempts in my innovation plan (which still make me cringe) to my more polished work in my media project. I’m even experimenting with AI video tools, a skill I picked up in this course. I learned a lot! I had fun doing it and I realize I still have a lot to learn about video making. I’m excited about the continued learning and discovery that lies ahead. Thank you Jennie, La Joie, Frank and Dr. Harrison for contributing to my learning!
