Week 10 Summary

Week 10 Summary

This week has been a week of reflection and interpretation. After considering my trepidations and fear during week 1, I have encountered a period of time where an impossibility becomes a reality. The last 10 weeks has been both exciting but draining and I’m thankful for the EDC community in their support and discussions that have challenged my thought process and learning journey. As a reflection of last weeks topic on ‘Learning Analytics’ I created my own infographic to provide a visualisation of LA within my field and appreciate the backstage discussions with peers. I valued online educational tools used by dance companies such as Scottish Ballet here, here,here and here. I valued the influence technology has on my child’s love for anatomy. I enjoyed the wonderful Wayne McGregor delivering  a TED talk  as he describes the body as the most technically literate thing that we have. I considered the affect of algorithms on young dancers using YouTube to gain instantaneous results in their technique and valued dance pioneers using social media to distribute the right message of Health and Wellbeing as well as Injury Prevention. I also liked a video on youtube which promotes new technology that  uses learning analytics to create specialised programs for participants with additional support needs. Following the topic of ‘Algorithms’ in week 8 Coursera sent me an e-mail with course recommendations which made me questions potential student decisions when algorithms are at play. After the Tweetorial, I used Mind Mup to create a Mind Map and shared using Evernote. I then finalised the week by completing this weeks task which asked us to analyse the data provided by the Tweetorial Archive.
