This week was a challenge for me! H5P was very difficult for me to get the hang of and I felt like my mom trying to use her iPhone. Every few minutes I had to ask my peers “How do I do that?” I think H5P is an awesome resource however, based on where my personal abilities stand, I cannot see myself using this in my classroom. I feel as though it would take me too long to set up although maybe my opinion will change over time. If COVID and online learning were to happen again, I think this would be a wonderful way to engage students.
I hope to teach middle school and I think that if I were to assign a creative assignment where students need to make a video I could ask them to make a quiz at the end (using H5P) for their own peer feedback. This would be an excellent method of implementing technology into students learning. As I plan lessons in the future, I will keep H5P in mind as a means of integrating tech into the assessment of other subjects in middle school. I do however think that H5P is quite advanced so I would have it as a minimal aspect of the project but encourage students to be creative and to emerge their peers in their project.
Although this class was challenging I am encouraged to know that I can always improve. H5P is something I will have to practice and improve on before I would implement it in my future classroom. My lesson from this week is: challenge brings growth!
