- Why professors won't try new things.
- Are you a workplace giver or a taker?
A tech tool to try:
- I experimented with Adobe Spark during the Maker Cycles in SDAWP and it was super intuitive to create social graphics, web stories and animated videos! I'll definitely be using this to create some of my presentations, but I'll also be including it as a tech tool for students to use to create photo essays and videos.
- If you want to see what's possible and what I made (no judgement please, it was my first time), check it out here: Adobe Glide of what I learned Week 2 of SDAWP, Adobe Video of my Position Paper Hack, Adobe Animated Video of my Inquiry Project Idea.
