ILP "Design"- Prezi

As part of my Independent Learning Project I designed a prezi that would go along with a 1st grade writing workshop on building stories! A prezi is a presentation software that shows the peoject as a whole to create an image ( a book for this project) as you go through the presentation you zoom into to different topics and subtopics. I really enjoyed getting to logically place the activities in order so kids would best understand the elements needed to create an interesting story. My presentation begins by getting kids to think of their favorite story and what it has that makes it their favorite this section ends with a video explaining the different parts of a story such as characters, setting, plot and how to separate beginning middle and end. The next topic enforces the topics explained in the video by giving definitions and picture examples, followed by a short minon movie where students are prompted to pull out the elements of the story. Lastly, the presentation gives instruction for beginning to plan their own story using a concept mapping software, typing their story and sharing with classmates. Prezi is a great software with amazing graphics and different ways to present information so that it can be more engaging for students and I can definitely see myself using it in my future classroom!

Group Activity w/ Ally Rodriguez - C.R.A.P Website Design

CONTRAST =  The background is red while text boxes are cream so they stand out and are easy to read. Titles of the articles were black and in all caps so they would stand out. Text was bright and and contrasted well against cream to make it more visible.  REPETITION= The teacher should have stuck to using the same color text within a text box to make the webpage more uniform. Many different text colors within the same section make it confusing since there is so much to look at. However, by using the same font throughout titles and text it is visually appealing.  ALIGNMENT= The text is aligned left which makes it easy to read. There is also equal space between each section of text within the boxes. The welcome image isn't aligned center so it looks out of place.  PROXIMITY= Boxes about what they are learning and what their assignments are are all grouped together. Information geared towards parents such as contact information and announcements is located near the...

Blog Post 1 (EME 2040)

    The advancement of technology has tremendously impacted the classrooms of today, not only for students but also teachers. Teachers can use technology to make administrative tasks like grading and classroom management much more effective. Using grading softwares such as Edsby, Engrade, etc. teachers can easily enter grades and make them readily available for students and their families. By integrating technology into the presentation of information, teachers are able to better engage students and adapt to the many different learning, cognitive and intelligence styles they may encounter. By using programs like Photostory, museum box, Prezi and wordle during a lecture, students who are more visual will have a better cognitive process when they are able to see the lessons being taught, whereas auditory learners will benefit from the actual lecture and videos incorporated into the presentation. Communication with parents is crucial in the classroom in order for success, while f...

ILP #2- Design- Infographic

Image
For my second ILP I used the software Canva to create an inforgraphic on how to establish S.M.A.R.T. It was very interesting to see all the different things you could do with this website from creating ebooks, binder covers, business cards, to inforgraphics. Once you selected what you wanted to create there was multiple different graphics, themes, images, fonts and other ways to make your inforgraphic appealing and easy to read. I feel inforgraphics are a way to engage learners, especially visual through an organized text with pictures to teach or educate someone on a toic and can be very useful in classrooms. My infogrpahic is posted and linked below. S.M.A.R.T GOALS INFOGRAPHIC!!
