ILP Design_GarageBand/iMovie

For my second ILP I discussed basic English sentence, paragraph, and essay structure. I used the narration voice effect as well as underlying instruments, which I made sure are not subtle enough to take away from the lesson. I used GarageBand to record and manipulate the audio, then imported it to iMovie to add background while listening, finally after seemingly millions of zips and compressions and making things this and that, was able to upload it to youtube.

  1. Nice try! However, if you don't have anything to show, why do you use video? You can just create an audio podcast using an audio program such as Audacity. Additionally, you should be careful when you choose a background music. The kind, volume, and effect (e.g. fade in/out) depending on your materials to maximize learning rather than technology itself.

My experience with twitter so far has been smooth. Of course, this is probably to do with the fact I had already used twitter for a bit, but nonetheless it is easy to use for school-related purposes as well. I do have some issues with making the posts not so dry when using it for class, but I guess that comes with the territory. I did find it interesting how the ads I come across have changed since I began using it for this purpose. Overall I like twitter best when used causally, however I do see the useful application of twitter to an educational format. http://peaksmiddleprep.weebly.com In my experience using weekly.com to make my class webpage I feel I have gained a lot. Although at first I was considerably frustrated, working through the frustration to finally understand the website made it become fun quickly. I had a lot of trouble adding links to the site, and was confused as to how I could change the tabs in the top right-hand corner of the website from the default "ho...

The "flipped classroom" is a new approach to education. It involves "flipping" a classroom into an online, interactive format. To do this, a teacher would post instructional material as well as videos and activities online, which would be then accessed by students. This is said to encourage students that may find a classroom boring, or enter a traditional lesson begrudgingly by flipping the format of a lesson into something they go find and access themselves. It is said to increase student participation and engagement and therefore increase the degree of benefit students derive from a lesson. Open educational resources, or OER's are websites that allow teachers and students to develop, provide, and access lessons and activities relevant to academics. The website I found  https://www.oercommons.org Provides a platform for teachers to develop lesson plans, and links to other helpful websites. Such other websites include activities that can be linked to lessons ...

Colin Peaks

My name is Colin Peaks, I'm a junior English major at Florida State. I'm from Jacksonville. I play lacrosse and enjoy writing, weekends, and getting out of class early. The only prior experience with technology is with the computer's word processor and probably minesweeper, sometimes pinball. In school my only exposure to technology was when teachers were first using smart boards so it was relatively chaotic but I'm sure things have smoothed out. What I hope to learn in this class is to efficiently navigate all the school websites I'm expected to, as well as learn how technology has changed the classroom.
