ILP 2 Design-Piktochart

I created an Infographic using Piktochart. The intention of this is for it to be blown up and used as a classroom poster to display the science lab rules. Piktochart is similar to Canva, but I actually liked it better than Canva. It is a smaller website, so there aren't as many design choices, but for me it was easier to use. I couldn't figure out how to add pictures from the internet to Canva, but it was a breeze with Piktochart. I was able to personalize Piktochart, rather than just follow the template. That's why I like it more.

I could use surveys and other data collection to get feedback from my students about how effective my teaching methods are. The survey can include suggestions and other comments. It can also be anonymous to encourage everyone to be honest without any ramifications. Excel can be used to format the results in a way that is easy to read and compare. I think the most realistic way to use it would be in the way that we used it for the assignment. I could also use excel for my grade books if I think the school's system isn't helpful or effective.
I liked the blogs when we had to find another teacher's classroom website because everyone found a different teacher. It made it more personal because sometimes we are all talking about the same podcast or assignment. Occasional topics like this make it more interesting and personal.
I think it would be cool to learn about some grade book softwares, such as Canvas, Blackboard, Edline, etc. We've all seen them from student views but it would be interesting to see how it works for teachers. How similar are they to Excel? Can they do the average function and other things? I know I can achieve this once I am a teacher but I think it would be nice to know about it before hand.

The Flipped Classroom refers to the way that new material is taught to the classroom. In a flipped classroom, students learn the new material at home at their own pace. Then when they come to class, the teacher answers any questions they have and the teacher can highlight any additional information she thinks need to be highlighted. Afterwards the teacher can do a more interactive activity or discussion to support the material that the students already know.

Before this podcast I didn't know about Open Education. After hearing the podcast and doing more research I think it is very cool! More Open Education classes can allow people who can't afford to go to college continue to learn. Just because you don't get credit from a college, you can still add it to your resume and life skills. Open Education is a form of education that has adapted to the increasing technological advances and I think it is going to become more and more popular.

Through the PowerPoint assignments, I perfected some skills that I hadn't used in a while and I also learned some new skills. I learned about the Slide Master tool, and while I am still a little confused about it, but at least I know what it is (which I couldn't say 3 weeks ago). I learned about the animation tools in my middle school computer class but haven't really used them in while, so these assignments were a nice refresher. The only thing I didn't like about the assignments was that I thought they were very similar, so it was difficult to create 2 different presentations.
