My EME2040 Reflections

For this ILP, I decided to check out the tutorials on Lynda.com. The options for tutorials are extensive on the site, so I spent some time searching around to find one that I wanted to complete. I have always had an interest in drawing and animating so when I saw that there were videos related to that, I was very interested. I decided on a tutorial titled 'Creating 2D Animation in Harmony'. This tutorial touched on the basics on animating and drawing 2 Dimensional works, while also giving some brief lessons on how to make the most of the animations, as well as different aspects of adjusting the newly created drawings. The creator of the video made it very easy for beginners and gave very clear and detailed instructions.

I think that the use of data collection, analysis, and organizing this information on Excel will all be useful skills that I will now have for my hopeful future as a teacher. Collecting data in ways such as the surveys that we did in this course will be very helpful. I think I will be able to use this as a way to collect information on my students, as I wish to teach high school or college, as well as use it as a fun way to test knowledge on topics before teaching it, such as by creating non-graded quizzes to complete before class. I have a professor now who using the submission of surveys on Qualtrics to take attendance for class, but also has questions regarding information from the lesson to further test knowledge as well, and considering that she is my history professor and that it what I want to teach, it gives me a good idea for the usage in the future. For using excel, I believe that the skills I will acquire from the lesson today on further operation of Excel, will help teach m...

This design of having the lecture be provided as homework through various types of technology for the students to have had completely prior to class, while the class time would then be used to engage in further discovery of the context of the lesson. I really do think that the "flipped classroom" method is an extremely effective way to run a classroom. I believe that this is extremely effective because making more time for hands-on, interactive programs in the classroom with the teacher would provide stronger lessons for the students. TeacherTube is the perfect source for a wide variety of educational videos that teachers can use to provide as the lessons that they would assign as lessons. (I was not able to find which podcast this blog journal was referring to so I couldn't gather the information) The assignments have taught me so many new skills for using PowerPoint that I never even knew were possible to do. I was unaware about how to create actions to make the pr...
