TPACK Quest



The Genius Hour quest was beneficial because it allowed me to realize all the benefits that Genius Hour can have on both a personal and professional level. This quest will contribute to my 21st century repertoire because it enlightened me on the way school can be designed to connect with students passions. Too often we force students to tackle work that doesn't interest with them which will not produce their full effort. Genius Hour will enable me to discover my students abilities and what inspires them to learn.

The gamification badge was useful because it gave me exposure into the world of gaming and ho it can be connected to the activities taking place in the classroom. This will contribute to my 21st century repertoire because it will allow me to make learning more stimulating and technologically driven for my students. Games are a big part of the digital world and is something most students are familiar or connected with. This will allow me to better engage with my students but also to get them to develop critical thinking through gaming.

The digizen badge was useful because it allowed me to develop a digital footprint and see the importance it can have for my classroom. I was never a big tech guy so this badge forced me to confront my own challenges with tech and see its true potential. This badge was important for my 21st century repertoire because it allowed me to the basic to each students on internet safety. I learned about copyrights and netiquette which are valuable skills to make sure students are referencing their work and creating a culture of respect online.
