ILP #1 "participation" - Lynda Tutorial


For this part of the project I decided to take a course on Lynda.com. I have never heard of Lynda before this class, however, I have heard of other websites like it. When I first visited the website I was very impressed with the interface. The homepage had a few suggested courses based on the most popular courses being taken. I thought all were very relevant. It took me a while to find a course, there were countless options in many different categories. I chose to do the course title: “Can’t Live Without Laughing”. I was extremely impressed by the interface of the whole course. There is a side section where you can scroll through and see the contents of the course, you can also select any of the options and it will take you to that segment of the course. Also, on the same side section there is a tab for notes. This website allows you to take notes and automatically organizes the notes into which section they belong in. This is incredibly helpful for studying and reviewing notes. The note section also allows you export the notes via Word, PDF, and Text file. This is also very beneficial because you can view your notes in a word document and either print or view them if you do not have any access to internet at the time. I thought overall the course content was very entertaining and did a great job of staying on topic even with the very specific sub-topics.

    Great! Lynda.com is a great resource and FSU students have free access to it. Many people just simply ignore it.

ILP Design- Infographic

For this project I decided to do a infographic. I used a website called Piktochart . I made a welcome page for my made up class (11th grade social studies). I used a theme and edited it how I wanted. It was extremely easy and looks very professional. I plan to use this in the future.  I even included a spot for the students to write three goals and get the paper signed by their parent. You can check out the project here !

I have been very impressed with Diigo and the overall idea and function of it. I really do not like reading things online because I cannot highlight and annotate, however, Diigo allows me to do that. I now use Diigo everyday throughout my classwork. I use it to highlight and take notes on any important information I encounter. I also like how I can bookmark the website I am looking at and have all my articles in one place. I also enjoy the group or social aspect of it. This is great for any classes, even book clubs or extracurricular activities. This is good because people can read different articles and share the important info with the people in their group, it is great for sharing info. PowerPoint can help analyze, evaluate, and apply information, as Bloom Taxonomy states. PowerPoint is a great supplemental tool to give a visual of the information you are given. PowerPoint should not be used as just a bunch of slides with a bunch of words and people speaking directly off of the sl...

"The Flipped Classroom" is a very interesting concept. It essentially is a learner-central method, it focuses more on the learner and it can help explore topics in more depth. There is usually educational technologies used outside of the classroom for supplemental support. Online lectures and learning resources are used and then what is learned outside of the classroom is applied in critical thinking activities and group work/discussions in class. Open Educational Resources (OER) are resources that are publicly licensed, which means they are free to use. This makes me smile. Learning is so important however, it can cost a myriad amount of money. This is terrible because we are keeping knowledge and resources from people who cannot afford it, and the population that would benefit the most from learning. I found this resource titled OER Commons, you can check out the website here . This is a public digital library of open educational resources. The part I checked out is the l...
