ILP “Participation” – Lynda.com - Keynote For Educators

For my project, I did a Lynda.com course on Keynote for Educators. It went through why teachers should use Keynote if they have an IOS product, like I do, and how to use action buttons for an interactive tool. Also, it went over how to use Keynote for a flipped classroom, or teaching outside classroom hours and reinforcing activities during class time, with the feature of being able to record yourself over slides to create a short video. Finally, the video went over how students can use Keynote, with using it to assess students through presentations or having them create a flipped classroom lesson themselves. Overall, this course taught me some features Keynote that I can use on my laptop as a future educator and why it is an effective educational tool.

    Hmmm I've never heard of Keynote, but it sounds awesome! I'd have to try it out because, even though I love Microsoft Office, PowerPoint has always been annoying for me to use. And I may have used Prezi maybe once in my life. Thanks for sharing! Definitely will check it out now that I know!

    Hey! I like how this lynda was about keynote, because we learned how to do some of the same things in powerpoint, but now i know keynote has the same things. Also i agree with what you said in the beginning about lectures being necessary in a class but its important that teachers invove some type of activity element.

    Not only is Lynda a great resource but so is Keynote. As an Apple employee I work with Keynote a lot with my customers. Using it as a classroom resource is such a great tool. It is very similar to powerpoint but has amazing applications

Becoming a Digital Native (BJ1)

Using technology in the classroom is becoming more of a norm as the years continue on. As technology becomes more accessible to the common citizen, I believe that its availability influences teachers and students to use it in the classroom. Students are learning how to use a vital tool that will help them in whatever career path they choose, and teachers can use it to make the content more interesting for students and hold their attention for longer periods of time. Also, technology can fill gaps that teachers may have. Students always have questions that teachers do not know the answer to, and technology makes answers to those questions easy to come by. The ISTE standards for students and teachers are very realistic when relating it back to today's society. The standards are reachable for both groups, but they're not too easy to achieve. Each standard provokes thought and desire in people to want to absorb all that technology can teach them. Specifically, I find the teacher ...

Learning the Tools (BJ3)

For a second grade class, I feel most prepared for standard LAFS.2.L.3.4. This standard states that technology must be known for finding the meaning of unknown words; in a sense, it is the knowing how to use technology as a dictionary. Furthermore, this standard also ensures that students know how to change words from their root, but that they also know it is still, essentially, the same word. I feel very prepared for this standard because ever sense technology was implemented into my elementary classroom, this is something that my peers and I have been doing for a very long time. I can easily give my students the resources they need to use the internet as both a dictionary and thesaurus and give them practice worksheets of looking up words, defining them, and finding root words. Another standard that I feel comfortable with is standard LAFS.2.W.2.6. This standard uses digital ...

The End is Near (BJ10)

Out of the skills we have learned this semester, I am most excited to use my Excel and survey skills as a teacher. With the data collection tools that we learned in class, I already knew a little bit about surveys and Qualtrics because I had made some in the past. What was the most interesting, however, was the way that it interacted with Excel. I had no idea that a CSV file was translated into a spreadsheet, and I was even more surprised and grateful to learn about the different formula functions that I could do with the data. Specifically, I think that being able to find averages and percents will be the most helpful for me as a teacher, and I will not have to input it by hand. For example, I plan to teach the second grade, so I could create surveys for parents to fill out about the level of difficulty of the homework, how they feel the year is going, etc., and then move the data to excel t...
