My selection for this #lidaphoto for #lida101 is a #throwbackthursday to when I was in Grade 10! I picked this image because I that year I had taken a Computer Science course and almost dropped the class because I thought I wasn’t smart enough to understand technology. I wish I would have stuck with it!
If I could do it all over again I think I would want to be a programmer... My secret (shoot now it's not a secret!) dream is to learn how to code. #bucketlist #lida101
I think in many ways my #diglit far surpasses my #digskills!
According to the University of Exeter iTest I am a #DigitalGuru #InformationJunkie #CareerBuilder #MediaMogul #OnlineNetworker #lida101
I thought some of you might be interested in a collaboration I am working on! Check out https://openarthistories.ca/
Just to spice it up a little bit I added "art history" to my searches for #diglit #digskills and #digitalfluency and came up with this great article: https://medium.com/techfestival-2018/art-is-the-key-that-unlocks-digital-literacy-87a31c0496d0
@alenabuis I see that you are an Art Educator. With the help from TRU we remixed an OER-enabled 1st year course called "Art Appreciation and Techniques" It is assembled to comprise three micro-courses:
1) Artistic process and visual language - https://course.oeru.org/art101/
2) Artistic media and architecture - https://course.oeru.org/art102/
3) Art in our world - https://course.oeru.org/art103/
We're getting close to launching this open course soon - perhaps your college is interested in joining?

I picked this selfie of me in a mask because the pandemic has truly been a catalyst for me to explore new technologies. And I am totally going to borrow this challenge for one of my courses! Much like the #artinquarantine activity I have designed it is a fun way for learners to build community and share perspectives of digital literacies and learning in a digital world! #oer #oep #sotl #sotlah #education #openarthistories #arthistory #langara #lida101 #lida101photo
I am excited to be starting #LiDA101
