ILP Design - Canva

   I decided to get creative with Canva, a website where you can customize a page for school and other purposes. I used it to advertise an English class. It can be edited in many different ways but this one in particular is an example of how you can design your own cause and use it to promote any product.

       I would be able to use Excel to grade papers and formulate averages for grades. It is a vital tool to use to maintain student averages. Excel helps with putting together data. From personal experience, I had to use Excel for my Methods of Social Research project, and it became easier to use. As a teacher, it can apply to many grade levels, especially ones with lots of assignments.

     The most interesting topic I found reading blogs was one about Prezi. Not using Prezi much, it peaked my interest because I was able to look up projects and it changed how I did projects as well. Also, knowing different ways that the other students would teach gives open insight to new ideas.

     A skill I would like to learn next and master is Photoshop. I feel like I am at novice level with it compared to most people. Learning Photoshop, I could use my own creativity to expand and keep students engaged in bunch of activities. Also, I want to get better with Powerpoint and make the best transitions. After the last assignment, I realized how much improvement I needed working with it.

   The Flipped Classroom is a form of studying that steps away from the norm of regular lecture. The teacher steps back and lets other forms of learning take place to help the student. Instead of the material being said to the students, the students can instead use what they learn and teach it back to the teacher. The reason this helps is because the students cannot all learn as quick as others.

The powerpoint was really enjoyable and I liked it a lot more than I thought it would. Powerpoints are very time consuming, but being in control makes it way more interesting than I expect it to be. I enjoyed both assignments because it taught me how fun I would be if I were an actual teacher. The transition arrows were the most time consuming so I did not particularly like those. However, I feel like I could have improved where they were placed in the second Power Point assignment.
