IPL Design - Edmodo
My Edmodo was designed for 4th grade mathematics. Students can collaborate and share with each other and as a teacher, I can share useful links, pictures, and comments. I can also create quizzes on Edmodo for them to take and be able to review immediately after because the computer grades it. It is a great way to connect with the students and provide educational and schedule information. I also learned that you can make a poll on Edmodo. This is a great tool to get the opinions of the students and receive feedback. Click here to access my Edmodo account. Create a free account and use the group code: 5333rx

#10 - Last Blog for the Semester
I will use data collection tools like excel for averaging scores, making tables, and many other things. If I teach math then excel will be used quite frequently and even taught to my students so that they can use excel to their benefit. I plan on teaching children that are visually impaired so I'm not sure they will find as much use to excel as I would as the teacher. I will most likely use it for averaging and calculating grades and the class average.
I greatly enjoyed reading my classmates' blogs and collaborating ideas and thoughts on different subjects. I especially enjoyed the blogs on assistive technology because it is relevant to what I will be doing in the future. My students will be taught how to use brailers, canes, and voice recognition software. It was interesting to read all the different types of assistive technology and how each of my classmates plans to use them in their own classroom some day. I even got ideas for myself and my use through some of the things they posted. I also enjoyed the topic of professional development and web 2.0 tools. I didn't realize how many tools there are available for teachers to use! It was amazing discovering new technological advancements and their application to the teaching environment.
I would really like to learn how to use Pinterest. Teachers use this now to share and collect lesson plans, classroom decorations, projects, books, and other educational/professional materials and resources. I will probably make one in the near future and play around with it until I figure out how to use it. I could even google how to use it or type it in YouTube to find tutorials on how to use it. That's what I did to make a prezi for my first independent learning project. I find this website very beneficial and can't wait to give it a try!

#9- "flipped classroom," "open," and PowerPoint
In a "flipped" classroom, short videos are the most important piece. They could be created and posted by the instructor or from an online repository. This encourages individual effort at home as well as collaborative effort in the classroom. Click here for a link to free flipped classroom resources. The Khan Academy is a website that has educational videos.
Open includes education, content, and sources. It basically is "open" for everyone to use and share. Just like the podcast said, there is a "wealth of information" available and "open." I think one example might be Edmodo (although I'm not certain of this.) Teachers share information and sources there. I found another website that seems like it provides a plethora of information. It is a virtual reality download that assists in the educational experience. It is free and open to whomever would like to access it. Click here to check out the website.
I learned a lot from this assignment. I learned how to record your voice and how to time everything perfectly. The basic things I already knew from previous assignments and presentations but the voice recording was really cool! I also learned how to hide the speaker and things like that. This project was definetly a learning experience for me. I feel prepared to make "crap[ppy]" Power Points in the future. :) I can use it to teach my students and even post online for study use with my voice in the background. One thing I didn't like was how you can't hyperlink in the notes. This was slightly inconvenient. Hyperlinking in the notes could be beneficial if you don't want it on the slide but still want it for reference. I also didn't like the template I chose but I spent a long time trying to find one and in the process downloaded who knows what on my computer. It was a struggle so I just ended up with this online template. In the future I will probably just use my own templates. Below is a screen shot of the power point. I had fun making it.

Get Creative Sketchnoting Your Slides
Get Creative Sketchnoting Your Presentation from Peter Zvirinsky
This is about making sketches and using them to present. It is a very creative way to make visual aids. I really like the slide with the Black Board version.
