ILP 2

For this ILP,  decided to use the design aspect. I created a prezi, which I would use for a first grade class that is learning how to spell. It is a list of spelling words, along with pictures and sentences to go with them. The students could use it to help with homework or just practicing their words. Parents would also have access to this, to help their students. https://prezi.com/p/mt6j9mpeyfds/

     I feel like I probably wouldn't use data collection surveys a lot, because I am going to be teaching younger kids. If I did use it, it would be for simple things like "how do you get home" or "do you have access to these things(computer, calculator, etc) at home." I do feel like I would be using excel a lot more for things like reporting grades or important data to the school. I would try to report grades in a way that shows what subjects the students are strongest in, so they know their weak points and are able to work on it.      The interesting things I learned from my classmates blogs was new softwares, like edmodo or edutopia. I also learned that most of my classmates have the same thought processes as me and plan to incorporate the software and programs we learned in class in a lot of the same ways I plan on doing it. I also found news ways to do the ILP assignments that are different and a bit easier than the Lynda videos that I did last time. ...

     A flipped classroom is a classroom that has students work as interactive learners rather than just listeners. It blends online classrooms with real classrooms, using videos. Basically, it works a lot like a college classroom. Students learn the information before hand, typically from a video, and then go to class with the knowledge they learned and their teachers help them enforce this knew information with class work. A teacher is more of a helper than a teacher. A good source would be YouTube.com , because a lot of teachers already use it, it's free and easy to access, and a lot of students (myself included) already use it when they do not understand information. It would make it easy for students to watch their teachers videos, and then if they still do not understand they can watch more videos that may help them.      Open education is a way to allow everyone to use education. It allows anyone, enrolled in a school or not, to have access to educati...

     Adaptive technology is a form of technology that allows everyone to have access to internet and resources others may have. It allows blind people to read books online (ebooks), allows deaf people to watch videos (subtitles), and also will help people with learning and social disabilities as well, such as word predictors, text-to-speak software, and spellcheck software. I think the only challenges of using adaptive technology in classrooms would be the lack or resources and ability to get these technologies. There may also be an issue with not knowing how to use these technologies, but I think as long as the teacher is has these resources available, they can learn and that will not be an issue.      PowerPoint can reach the create level of blooms taxonomy by allowing students to create their own PowerPoint's design them how they'd like. You can use PowerPoint for the evaluation and analyze level by either having students evaluate and analyze points in ...

     My experience with twitter has been fine. I haven't found it helpful, but it wasn't annoying to do or anything. I haven't had to use Twitter for asking questions or anything like that, I just use it to post for this class. The benefit of twitter would be that I would have quick access to help and access to all my classmates if I needed it, I just haven't needed it yet.      I learned a lot from the web design assignment! I've never made a webpage or anything like even close to that, so it was a lot of fun getting the website to be perfect. I learned how to do the formatting, add in a lot of different aspects, and it was really easy and accessible to everyone! I didn't like that it would freeze up a lot and it was a bit slow, but I didn't find it to be that big of deal when making the website. I think next time I make one it will be similar, but probably a bit prettier. I use the skills I learned and web-design when I am a teacher to create a fun way t...

     For FSUS, a K-12 charter school in Tallahassee, you can actually see a lot for the school. You can see the bell schedule, the teachers who work, and even clubs and activities the students can do. You can also see their calenders and links to their twitter feed. My high school did the same thing- they put everything about the school on a very public website, so that potential students could see a lot of information about the school. My school had a separate website for grades and assignments, which I'm assuming FSUS does as well. https://www.fsus.school/Page/1       When I become I expect to use productivity tools/software, like classroom management software, like classdojo or edline. I will use it to stay organized and to do grading. I also expect to use word processors and presentation software for my lessons or materials. I will also use google calenders, because it is a good way to keep myself as well as my students and their parents on tr...

For this ILP, I did participation. I watched a photography tutorial on Lynda.com. Link:  https://www.lynda.com/Lightroom-tutorials/Course-overview/368391/435424-4.html 1. Activity Log 2. Learning Experience I thought the video was a little boring, simply because the speaker just stood there talking throughout the entire video, while sometimes showing pictures or videos as examples for what he is talking about. However, I did learn a lot from the video, about the different types of cameras and photography, as well as the different ways to edit and the different kinds of editing software. 3.
