ILP "Participation" - Lynda.com "Learning to Write a Syllabus"

     The link below will take you to my VoiceThread discussing my experience using Lynda.com. I chose to complete a course on Lynda.com that had to do with education since it felt most fitting. I also wanted to explore the work that really goes into the packets of paper that we receive during the first week of classes that most students never look at again. Overall, I learned so much about how to write a syllabus and how important each piece of a syllabus is and I wish more students took this course just to understand why it is so important and a blessing that professors take the time to create and go over the syllabus with them.

    Kadi, I have never thought about how much teachers have to go through to create a good syllabus. I always them to keep track of my classes, but your ILP has shown me how much thought actually goes into them; it's a lot more work than I thought. Overall, I thought your comments were perfect, and I'm glad that I watched this to advance my syllabi that I will write in the future.

    Kadi!!! Such a great ILP! Your Voice Thread was top notch and I could understand everything you were saying. I do love that you decided to do this particular Lynda.com lesson because I've always wondered how teachers starts from scratch on a syllabus. I think this is a great tool for new teachers who are still a little unsure of how to craft a syllabus and what is necessary to include. I also love that you decided to discuss points from the lesson that are relevant to our class, particularly with the point about contact information.

    I loved your ILP Kadi! You spoke clearly and at a great speed throughout the entire presentation. Further, I like how you broke down the Lynda lesson your learned into the basic ideas that you felt were the most relevant so that your audience gets the most important information without having to actually complete the course. I also really love how you designed your project! Having sections from the lesson screenshotted and have the background hazy really makes the information you selected seem extremely important and catches the attention of the audience. This was a great way for you to highlight the important sections.

    This was so amazing! The way you broke this down and spoke so eloquently is amazing!! I love that you talked about the quiz that you had to take first to show the basic information ( I forgot to do that on mine). I love the basics that you put down because you have to be aware when you are teaching a class what the goal is. While people can stress about making lesson plans, having a syllabus that is easy to follow and relates everything together is helpful!

    Kadi, your voicethread sounded so confident! I think this was a great lynda.com tutorial to do, because I've also wondered about this. I think that adding the location, and descriptors for it is such a good idea, especially for teachers who work on larger campuses.

Blog Journal 6: Teacher Websites

     Technology is becoming more and more intwined with education. Ever since I can remember and since I had access to a computer, my teachers have had websites online. This online engagement transitioned from pages on the school website to classes on Canvas and Blackboard. One example that I found from my elementary school is from my 2rd grade teacher. She teaches at James H. Cox Elementary School which runs from Kindergarten through Fifth grade. Other schools in the district go up to Sixth grade as well. She now teaches 3rd grade as clarified in her bio on the website. She includes things like weekly homework assignments and announcements online so that if a student loses any papers or a parent wants to check what work their student has for the week, it is easily accessible online. She also includes school supplies that are needed for the class, academic resources, the vocabulary for the unit they are on, and more. Each page of her website has a cute graphic that is vi...

Blog Journal 3: ELA Standards

     This week we discussed ELA standards and explored the different standards for different school levels. I decided to explore the 11th and 12th grade standards further since that would hopefully be the classes I would teach if I were to decide to follow this career path. Overall, the standards seem familiar, which is to be expected since I was in classes that utilized these standards less than two years ago. I would say I feel most prepared to teach students the skills to meet standard LAFS.1112.W.1.2, which focuses on writing informative texts to discuss complex ideas, essentially. I feel most prepared to teach this standard because I spent most of my time during my Junior and Senior year of high school learning how to write scripts for and produce a daily news show. The reason this really helped prepare me to teach this standard is the fact that producing a daily broadcast that does not eat into the school's class time requires me to pick and choose exactly what info...

Blog Journal 2: Originality in Writing

     Microsoft Word has become a standard in education. Once we stopped learning how to physically write, we began learning how to well, write. For the sake of convenience, we started being required to type out our writing assignments so our teachers could actually read them. Once we started writing longer papers, we started learning how to format them. Until college, I only really used Word for English assignments, however, in my Academic Success class that I took last year, we learned a few ways to use it as a study tool for other classes as well. I find that in my college classes, quite a few teachers use Word documents for their lectures and a lot of teachers and professors I've had use it to write their quizzes and exams.      Something that we also learn about as we write lengthier papers on Word is Copyright. It has been ingrained into our brains to never ever plagiarize anything since elementary school. We first learned about plagiarism as copying ...
