ZOOM - MDX account access

 Hello MDX Team,

As many of you know, as I prepared my inquiry for Module 2, I was asking about setting up a ZOOM account with MDX for my interviews in Module 3. I asked in our What's App group and received some great ideas. I did follow advice and created my own account using my MDX email, however, I then realized the free personal account has its limitations. Limitations that would not work for group interviews. Now I have made a discovery I want to share in hopes of helping others find and use the MDX ZOOM account more easily. 

Here is how I set up my ZOOM under the MDX licence using my MDX email. There are settings already chosen and locked by the University but there are lots you can personalize. 

  1. When logged in to your MDX student account, click on My Learning Essentials. 
  2. On the right-hand side in a column is the list of Online learning - useful resources. Yes, they are useful resources! 
  3. In that list, you will see Zoom and newrow guides. Click that. 
  4. From there you are taken to a guide. Skip through to 3.1 Accessing ZOOM for the first time. There is a link below the title. Click the link.
  5. select Sign in
  6. Log in with your student email and MDX password. 
  7. And Voila! You can create a ZOOM account under MDXs licence that allows for 300 participants at once and no time limit. You can schedule reoccurring meetings and more. 
I feel better knowing I have that important data gathering tool ready to go for the next module. 

I hope this helps you and future MAPP students.

My First Blog Post

🌎 My First Blog Post As I prepare to embark on this journey of attaining my Masters through Middlesex University, I am reminded of how little I know about the tech world.  Oh, I use tech. I don't live in the dark ages. I have a laptop, smartphone (yes, upgraded from my Nokia flip phone), and we even have a wireless home security system that talks directly to that smartphone. I also use tech in dance class. I have my set playlists, and use my iPod, or laptop for music, my phone for slow-mo videos, and have even ventured to try Spotify. I do not consider myself to be very tech-savvy. I feel like as soon as I know how to use and manage an app or device, something updates and changes! And then the pandemic. Offering us ways to grow. We pivot and shift. It has challenged us in many ways and opened a new cyber door for a lot of us to walk through - Zoom.  Zooming. Is it a verb? It does feel like that some days. Zooming between music windows, monitoring and admitting students throug...

The Questions we are exploring - Looking for Feedback

Hello Fellow MAPP-ers,  I am looking for feedback and discussion regarding my ideas, my process, to find my "Question" for Module two.  I want to do something with Dance for Life. I feel very passionate about the fact dance, and the arts, give us so many tools to use no matter where our life journey takes us. I see the education curriculum being steered away from the arts, especially here in Alberta, and feel compelled to investigate and understand the benefits of the transferable skills learned in the dance studio. To understand how our years of dancing benefit us throughout our lifetime, even after some leave it behind to pursue other interests.  There is a desire within me to explore what is learned in arts education, and perhaps share the findings to assist future generations to be able to experience the arts, specifically dance, in school. I perceive this curriculum change as limiting children's participation in the arts and perhaps limiting it to the privileged few ...
