Passion Project: June

As my first year of tech team comes to an end I would like to reflect on my passion “project” and the class as a whole. I really enjoyed helping out with the class especially at the pro d day and the bootcamp but I feel like my passion project direction was really unclear thus nothing got done. In the end Lizzy and I only presented once at a staff meeting in October and while I feel like that did help, unfortunately I found it challenging to take the initiative to go further and do more. For the class, overall it was fun but i feel like it could benefit from a few less people and more generalised jobs.

Passion Project: February

With the new semester I was really hoping for a chance to get to use my device and edublog more so I could be helpful. I am definitely using my device more but I feel some teachers are still not embracing the good parts of edublog. Some are and that is great but for Riverside to truly continue on as a digital school students need consistency and so far that has not happened. i haven’t done anything for my project since November and i feel like the project direction is really unclear.

Passion Project: January

I am finding this project very challenging because it is hard to organise things to talk about at the staff meetings. As well keeping my motivation up while my partner is gone at work experience is hard. Not much progress has been made this month but i am feeling optimistic for the upcoming semester.

Passion Project: November

The problems I might run into is being able to get people together for each staff meeting. I might also run out of ideas and things to present and ways to present them. The skills  I need for this project is confidence in presenting, and knowledge of the things I am presenting. I need to be able to fully understand the programs and be able to find new things to present each time. I’m worried that I will not be prepared enough but will go talk in front of the teachers anyway.

Passion Project: October

The aspects of my project that are challenging is all the time I spend having to try to find people that are available to present. I also think it is challenging that I need to find ways to make things interesting.I have learnt that teachers get really interested in technology when they are being shown how much students like using it and how much potential they have. Edublogs takes a while to get used to but after our presentation I noticed a lot more teachers using it. The parts of my project that are working is that I am helping the teachers become more interested in technology.

 

0365 Review

I think Office 365 can be very beneficial to the students at Riverside, if used correctly, especially ones using laptops. When looking at all the different devices I think that Office 365 would be the most successful with laptops because it is easier to log in to. I really enjoy the fact that it doesn’t take up any storage space on my device.  The fact that I can access it online is a major bonus, however I am worried about how effective it would be at school when the internet is slow. I don’t use it very often because logging on and having consistent internet takes too long.
