ILP Design: Google Classroom

Google Classroom
ILP #1 VoiceThread

For this project, we were asked to choose between two project types: Design and Participation. I chose the design portion where I explained how Google Classroom works and why it is beneficial to use in the classroom setting. I signed up for GC and made an example class to show how the features work. I made topics and posted homework and tests and quizzes. Then I took screen shots and posted them to my voice thread. In my voice thread, I explained each image and how to use the settings on GC.
Above are the links to google classroom and the link to my ILP VoiceThread.

In school, I've been using Microsoft Word since I learned how to type. In grade school, my computer teachers would have us open up a word document on our computers, place (unused) large mens' boxers around the keyboard (so we could not see the keys), and stick our hands in and type. This was my introduction to Microsoft Word. Overtime, we graduated from arbitrary sentences to actual papers and lost the boxers (thankfully). From then on, I used Microsoft Word until 8th grade when I got a MacBook and switched to Google docs. Most of my teachers have used Microsoft Word for typing up worksheets and tests. They have also used other Microsoft programs in class like Powerpoint and Excel.  In grade school, when we started writing research-based papers, our teachers taught us about citing work and giving credit to other sources. Since then, I have understood the necessity of giving credit where it is due. As a teacher I will stress the importance of citing sources in their works. ...

This semester was the first time I ever used Twitter. At first, it was confusing- I did not really understand how it worked (I'm used to Instagram). I still have not downloaded the app on my phone, so I am still just using it on my laptop. This might be causing a problem because I forget about it because 1) It is something I've never used before and 2) I do not have it with me always like my other social media apps. Slowly, though I am figuring it out. I have been following education accounts and other education adjacent people.  I am not completely sold on the idea that it is super beneficial as an educator. I can see why some people would like it to get simplified news about things they are interested in. For me, I am too new to Twitter that I do not rely on it for news like I do other sources. In the future, I don't see myself using Twitter past this semester, so I can't answer the question about how it would be helpful to me as an educator in my classroom.  Ear...

I just recently signed up for Diigo through my educational technology class. I had never used it before, but it was not difficult to figure out. All I had to do was download the chrome extension and find articles to bookmark and annotate. I like how easy it is to use. I did not have to ask for help in figuring out how the functions work. I discovered very quickly how to highlight information and make comments about it. Having this tool is very beneficial for keeping track of important articles for the classroom. I often find that my bookmarked websites get lost in google chrome and I have lots of trouble finding important sources. Diigo offers a space to put any necessary articles in one easy-to-access place. The only downside to Diigo that I can think of is how specific it is. Diigo's specific use is for the classroom: teachers and students sharing (or just saving) websites and articles for class. This is not necessarily a bad thing- it just makes its purpose more narrow.  This...
