Well this week was fun. I can honestly say, this has been one of the best classes i have ever taken, and probably will ever take in my college career. The professor gave one of the best assignments ever! He wanted us to use Facebook and Twitter for 48 hours (24 hrs. each).
We were supposed to use these platforms exactly how we use them on the regular, but with the difference that on Facebook, he created a page specifically for the class and we're supposed to post everything we do throughout the day on that page. For Twitter, we have to use the hashtag, #edpe3129 with every tweet we post.
I have no idea how the professor comes up with projects like these but I love them. Professor Ferré always breaks from the norm of all the other regular classes. As college students, we constantly deal with simple minded professors who can't come up with creative assignments to save their lives so this class is like a breath of fresh air.
The assignment went great for me, however, I'm not really big on social media when I'm taking classes back to back throughout the day so my participation was not very active. I managed to post about three times each day and I felt like that was a lot. The purpose of the exam was to evaluate how effective was the communication within social media and then see if we could apply it in the classroom as a learning tool for our students. In the class' website we had to post a reaction that evaluated the two social media sites and say how it affects education nowadays. Here is my reaction to the assignment.
Also this week, we created an info-graphic chart which displayed the topic that we chose for the Power Point presentation with a voice over assignment.
For this, we used the website Piktochart. We chose a template that could accommodate our information and then we posted it on the class' website too. Here is the chart I created about Distance Education which is the topic I chose for the presentation.
