For my ILP 2 I created a Prezi. I created a Prezi about some of the things we learned in this class. I loved using Prezi as I am familiar with how to use it from high school. I talked about DIIGO, web evaluation, word formatting, ISTE standards and more!

Using the data collection and Excel are both very interesting tools. Doing the Data collection in class was the first time I have created a survey using a website. I had so much fun learning how to do this. These tools could be a good way to learn about your students. A way I could use data collections from my students would be through mini quizzes about the subject matter. This lets you know as a teacher what your students are excelling at and are struggling with. With Excel, it is so easy to keep track of class grades, average, minimums and maximums. We learned how to do this in class and it was very informative. For example, If I was a math teacher for high school students I would have them learn my lesson through class materials and every week create a data collection survey to see what the students need more help with so we could go over that material more. Then after their grades are sent through, I could import all this data into excel to track the average score of the class and the minimum grades to see if the material was not absorbed thoroughly.
A few topics I found interesting while reading my classmates blogs are flipped classroom and Powerpoint interaction. The reason I found these two topics interesting was because they were the two subjects I found most interesting and it was nice to read other peoples interests in the same topics. For example, flipped classrooms have a range of opinions. Some of the blogs I read believe that a flipped classroom is not the way you should run a classroom environment. On the other hand, some classmates blogged that a flipped classroom helps students be more creative and get more socially involved with their classmates. As for powerpoint there were also a range of opinions. Some of my classmates wrote about powerpoint as not so exciting and they already knew how to use powerpoint. On the other hand there were so many of my classmates who had a similar opinion as me. I thought that powerpoint could do so much more than we knew how to do previously. A lot of my classmates described how much they enjoyed the lessons about powerpoint and could see themselves using powerpoint in their future career as an educator.

Hey guys!
Talking about The Flipped Classroom is very interesting. Being part of the flipped classroom involves showing your students information before class. That way when the student comes to class they are aware of the material and want to participate in discussion. Students in a way have to learn and teach themselves information and be prepared for class. They can keep note of what they don't understand and be prepared to ask specific questions in class. I understand the mentality of having a flipped classroom and how it can be beneficial for students. However there are many cons to having a flipped classroom. In reality a lot of students when given work to teach themselves at home, it does not happen. As much as a teacher thinks their students will teach themselves, most probably will not. Therefore this method will only be beneficial to the students who want to teach themselves at home.
OER's are online distributed resources that are free and accessible to everyone. Anyone can use these resources. The article discussing OER that I chose is "OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES" by the Hewlett Foundation. This website talks about an overview of OER and their goals. They want to use OER's in K-12 and help students and teacher have open resources to use to increase educational access. The Hewlett Foundation supports people and institutions that promote OER as well as support researchers that spend their time learning about OER's. The Hewlett Foundation says, "In 2002, the Hewlett Foundation began investing in open educational resources (OER), which are high-quality teaching, learning, and research materials that are free for people everywhere to use and repurpose" (Hewlett Foundation).

I learned SO much from the powerpoint assignments! This has been my favorite lesson so far. I learned how to do so many things that I will use in my future and as a student. I always used powerpoints in school but never like this. I learned countless things I can do to my power point to make it interesting and fun. Some of the things I learned were how to record my slide show with my voice. I never knew how to do this before and I am positive it will come in handy in any career. I also learned how to create my own type of slide and save it so I can use it whenever I want. I thought this was a cool trick that will save time. I learned how to play with animations and navigation buttons that you can make to take you to different places on the slide. That was my favorite thing I learned. If I ever become a teacher I will know how to make my lessons interesting and fun for my students. I can create an entire game for my students that is educational yet fun. I am so glad I took this course because I learn something new and beneficial every class.
Here are screenshots to my powerpoints.

Diigo is a great tool for students and teachers. You are able to use tools such as highlight, annotate, and sticky notes to utilize on any webpage. You can then show your annotations with any one else that uses Diigo. I was first heard of Diigo in my EME class at FSU. I have learned so much since we started using it. Before this class, I had never heard of Diigo, but now I actually enjoy and get great use out of its tools. I even started using Diigo in my other classes and told another teacher about the webpage and how to Utilize it. It has been a great help to be able to use the sticky note feature in all my classes. I can forsure see myself using Diigo in my future career if I become a teacher. I would use the annotation feature to assign things to my students.
Blooms taxonomy consists of six levels. The levels are create, evaluate, analyze, apply, understand, and remember. I can apply these levels while I use powerpoint. You can use the create level to create a PowerPoint however you choose and design it however you want. You can spend hours on powerpoint figuring out new tools and tricks. Evaluating consists of finding something you are passionate about and something you can defend and show off your knowledge. You must then analyze your information and understand and organize it. To apply means to use this knowledge to your benefit and apply it to the world and your society. Lastly remembering this information is crucial and you should carry on the knowledge you have acquired throughout your life.
Technology helps teachers and students on a day to day basis and it is slowly becoming more and more common to have technology in the classrooms. Technology is such a benefit for students to succeed in school and teachers are a great way to help students learn about different and new technologies. Teacher professional development involves improving your skills as a teacher. Teachers in this new world of constant technology development can never stop learning. A site that offers new technology trends is actually Twitter. There are hundreds of pages on twitter that offer new and improved technology trends that are used in the education system. I have provided a few examples.
