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

ILP “Design” – Class Dojo

For my design ILP, I chose to create a class in Class Dojo. I wanted to work on this website because in a classroom that I observe, the teacher uses Dojo every day. It looked like a vital tool, so I wanted to get acquainted with the website and all the features it encompasses. For the purpose of this project, I dabbled with the point system, the group system, and the class "tweets," which I think will really help increase and streamline parent-teacher communication. Overall, this ILP let me get familiar with the tools of Class Dojo, and I am positive that I will use it in my career as a teacher. My VoiceThread Link can be found here . My Class Dojo can be found here ; however, you can only see the class when I am logged in (if you would like to see it, comment your email, and I can add you as a co-teacher!). Here is a screenshot instead! Disclaimer: I am sick, so my voice is really scratchy!

The Digital Divide (BJ4)

With these first few weeks of using Twitter, especially it being the first time I have ever had a twitter account, I can honestly say that I am enjoying all the information that is available to me. I have followed many, many educators that have first-hand experience with their teaching classrooms, and politicians who are very informed with educational policy. I am learning about different aspects of my chosen profession that I didn't even knew existed. Mostly, I have been interacting with Vicki Davis, a woman who has her own blog called "Cool Cat Teacher." I haven't had direct interaction with her, but I have retweeted some of her things because they are just so insightful. For example, she blogged about the idea of being childlike instead of childish, which was very interesting to me because I had never tried to separate the two ideas before, but she gave an excellent description and used her experiences in the classroom to help her case. Also, she tweets about oth...

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 ...
