ILP 1 "Participation" - Lynda.com

Lynda.com                                                            Course: Office for Educators


I completed a course on Lynda.com about technology for Educators. I picked this course because I felt it would be most useful for me in the future. The activities I completed in this lesson was I watched a bunch of videos and completed challenges to test what I learned. I really enjoyed the use of the website and course, it was easy to use, very informative, and fast. I learned skills in the course in the programs Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I found the Excel section the most interesting as it gave tips to help organize a gradebook to make a table to organize assignments and students by color. I also learned different ways to use Word to make templates for assignments and handouts. Lastly, I learned in PowerPoint the basic of tools like graphs, transitions, and media.

Or if audio is played aloud, it could distract others. A problem that may be a more...

I picked Florida State University Schools as the website I visited to look at class pages because that is the Elementary School I go to for observing. The school website was easy to use, I went to the Elementary School department and picked a Kindergarten grade teacher, Ms. Broome . Her website consists of multiple pages of information. There was a welcome page, about the teacher page, general information page, weekly newsletters, monthly snack calendars, homework, and an online resource page. Each page had information for parents and students to learn more about Ms. Broome and her classroom.

The general information page includes her class schedule, field trip dates, and curriculum maps. The weekly newsletter and snack calendars are pages for the parents to informed on what their child needs and is doing. I found Ms. Broome’s website very organized and informative. H...
