Icebreaker Response
Within my ice breaker response I chose a visual image. I was considering using my picture, however, students may have implied that they would need to use their picture. Understanding individual preferences, I am aware certain online learners embrace the anonymity this medium supports. I chose to offer imagery of nature. It is non-prejudice, promotes an identity and expresses my personal interests.
The Welcome To Class video includes me speaking. I thought the picture provided more insight into who I am as a person and the video offered who I am as an educator.
Additional examples of synthesizing text, voice, and visual representation to build online presence have also been utilized within icebreaker activities such as introductory videos below.
