ILP Participation: Lynda Tutorial


For my second ILP, I watched another Lynda tutorial to continue my interest in photography. I watched Introduction to Photography which talks about the basics of a camera such as the types of lens available and how to use those lenses. This experience was even better than the first because I knew how to use the Lynda website. This familiarity allowed me to explore the available options such as the Notebook to make notes during the presentation.

I took these photos during a family trip to the beach during Veteran's day weekend.

Class 1

   My prior experiences using technology is about average for someone my age. I have grown up using technology therefore I am pretty used to using Word and Powerpoint for class assignments. I have an iPhone and use multiple social media accounts daily. This summer I worked as a camp counselor for the Challenger Learning Center and I learned a lot about technology that I did not know before. I learned more about programming and how to set up a Minecraft server as well as how to use these resources for teaching.    In this class I hope to learn how to implement technology in my future classroom as well as advance my understanding of technology.

I am hoping that through this class I will learn about new technologies to use as a teacher as well as in my personal life.

Teachers are also able to specialize education through using technology.  I believe that the ISTE standards are important and required in our current society. Teachers need to be able to connect with their students and be able to navigate the online world. For myself the "Learner" standard for educators on the ISTE website is the most meaningful. Learning is a life long process so as a teacher I hope to continue learning and growing. The standard that would be slightly out of my current skill set is the "Analyst" standard; I think that my ability to use statistics and to use data efficiently is not as good as it could be.  The term "digit...

The Flipped Classroom is where the teacher designs a class where the students are in charge of their learning through lectures being homework and the classroom time is spent understanding the concepts. In chapter ten, the phrasing  “sage on the stage” to “guide on the side" to describe the teachers' role inside of the classroom. This is an interesting idea for many teachers because   the traditional role for a teacher is to be in charge but with a flipped classroom design the teacher is less the center of the classroom but an extra resource to the students.  Open education is where classes are offered to the public online which allows anyone to learn topics.  Students are able to learn new material if they choose to and teachers can develop their skills as an educator. The Department of Education has a page explaining Open Education. Open content is where content online is able to be used by anyone allowing teachers to use other's lesson plans and worksh...
