EDLD 5366 - Week 1 - C.R.A.P

This week we discovered the C.R.A.P (Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity) Method. We were given the opportunity to create a digital product that can be used to teach other teachers/co-workers about the four principles of design. A design of our choice; collage, poster, business card, brochure, etc. and save as a pdf. In learning about the principles of design, we had to investigate ancient manuscripts and books that give insight into the history of graphic communication and how the principles of design were used in these early manuscripts. Writing a 50-100 word reflection while describing our first impressions, identifying examples of each of the four principles of design, and analyzing what techniques the authors/artists employ to help us understand the importance of those manuscripts/books.

EDLD 5363 - Week 5

This week we've completed our video on the Search for 3D Solids and our Assignment 5.1, 5.2, updates on our Internship Hours and ARP (below) and uploads to TK20. I had an awesome experience working with my group and I look forward to working with these ladies again! It's been a good run...........so I guess we'll call this a WRAP!

Here is a link to our shared Google Drive with all of our Project Docs:

EDLD 5363 - Internship Hours/ARP Update!!

Internship Hours

So far so good! My internship activities have been great. Right from the start my supervisor delegated some of his everyday tasks to me. I assign all work orders that come to the Desktop Support area to our technicians. It is a task!  I try to be fair and assign them equally using. I have gone to several conferences/seminars; the digital ticket exploring new communications and technologies in the classroom, 7 Habits for Highly Effective People and a Project Management Course. I am currently on a project dealing with my ARP – Dell KACE. We are in the process of finding a way to push out patches to all machines, Windows and Macs across campus. We are in our planning phase and will soon setup tests banks for observation before going campus wide. I can truly see that there is a lot in fulfilling a leadership role on any level. There are so many responsibilities. All that I am learning now, I hope to build on and grow and be able to use on a higher level in Higher Education. I currently have close to 100 hours in working on my internship plan.  

ARP

I have completed training for the Dell KACE system. I have been using KACE and analyzing its uses as opposed to actual physical man hours. It is interesting to see how one machine can do so much, whereas before, these are things we would manually do. I have not learned all of the ins and outs as of yet on KACE, but I have a good enough start to start charting my data and getting all input from other techs, etc. in one place. There are some additional things like patching computers that I would like to learn more about in helping me complete my ARP. I know I will make some changes as to how I will present my findings; excel, PowerPoint, Word, I think I will probably use all 3 avenues to help present my findings.

EDLD 5363 - 3D Solids Video Finale

After making a few minor changes to our video, adding Creative Commons licensing and the standards for both TEK and ISTE, we are ready to roll!

I have really been blessed to work with such an awesome group! Nikki and Hannah or "go-getters" for sure! Our team has collaborated, discussed, tweaked, and decided all through the channels of Facebook and Google. These tools have really been instrumental throughout our group project. We all shared in the work, and took responsibility for our designated parts to complete our project; all coming together to create our video: The Search for 3D Solids.

Awesome group, great project, collaboration on point, overall experience: PRICELESS!

EDLD 5363 Reflection of Web Conferences

I had the privilege of attending three web conferences during this course. The web conferences are very informative and a good way for the class to collaborate on assignments and gather the teacher's input. The conferences can range in attendance from about seven to ten to around twenty. The varieties of times are also convenient so that conferences can be attended throughout the week as time permits.

I encourage everyone to attend as many web conferences as they can. They are very beneficial in completing assignments. Also the conferences are recorded and are always available to go back and listen to.

Week 4 - EDLD 5363 Group Project The Search for 3D Solids: First Video Production

This has been a good week. Nikki and Hannah are great to work with and awesome “go getters”! Between Nikki, our most talented movie maker, Hannah our recording artist, and myself, editing our proposal’s timeline and a few other docs; we are so getting the job done! We work very well together and enjoy the collaboration! We are also excited about our first video production! With only a few adjustments here and there, next week we will be ready to present the finale. Check out our first video and please give feedback!

EDLD 5363 - Week 3 Group Project: The Search for 3D Solids!

This week began the start of a new adventure; working in groups, which is great and makes it better when the ladies you work with are awesome and hardworking! We began collaborating right away and decided on creating a video for third grade students learning 3D solids. I am looking forward to the next two weeks in getting our video started, edited and finished. Here is preview of our proposal and other week 3 documents can be found on my Google site:
