This week we talked about our personal learning networks and generation alpha. A personal learning network is a group of colleagues, mentors, and professionals that you can connect with to enhance your learning and professional development. We talked a lot about how we can use social media, such as Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok as platforms de develop our personal learning networks. Before class this week I was following lots of different educators on social media, but I realized I was not following any educators from BC. So, after class I decided to find some teachers and administrators from BC to follow to potentially deepen my personal learning network. We also talked a lot about generation alpha, born between 2010 and 2024. This generation is different from ours, so it is important to consider who they are and what type of world they will need to navigate when planning and teaching.
The last thing we touched on today was graphics and different platforms we can use to create them. To get a little bit of practice making graphics I decided to make a short video with Canva. Once I had created the video I had trouble getting it into my blog, but I eventually figured out how to do it. Then I wanted to have it autoplay and play on a loop so I had to search through the settings and find the ones that would allow me to do that. It was a little tricky, but I am glad I was able to add my first graphic into my blog!

Hi Hailey! First of all, I love the graphic that you included at the bottom of your post, it’s very cute! Secondly, I think that it is really cool that you took the lecture to heart and decided to expand your personal learning network to BC educators as well.

Hi Hailey! What an adorable graphic, I love that it moves! I think I remember seeing you make it actually! That is an excellent idea to follow educators from BC, I think I will do that too!
