For this project, I chose to complete a Lynda on something that wasn't just something that I wanted to learn more about, but also something that has heavily influenced my productivity at school -- the Google Suite. I've been familiar with the Suite for several years now, but despite my vague familiarity, I hadn't really seen what all it has to offer until this year, being in the Educational Technology course, and then even with the learn -as-you-go environment, I was hoping this Lynda course would acquaint me with some aspects of the Suite that I hadn't learned yet. and, update: it did. I didn't realize the countless options for organizing and searching files. These options include photos being organized by the people in them, and being able to "star" items across multiple types of files. Google Docs is an ideal platform for collaboration and great for classroom use. However, I did feel that the collaborative aspect was not hit on as much as it should have been in the video.
HERE is a link to the Lynda tutorial.
I chose to do the Prezi again because in my last one, I noticed there were some concepts I would like to improve on. Particularly, the clarity and comprehensiveness of the presentation. Using it again gave me the opportunity to improve. I felt like it was an effective form to display the information given because it could read like an instruction manual, but considerably less boring.
HERE is the link to the Prezi.
I like how you presented your notes from Lynda in a Prezi. What colorful and engaging way to encourage others to share what you learned. I have had some problems with the mobile apps. The one I use most often is the sheets app, which I use to organize info for the Cobb Robotics Club and Tally soccer league.
ReplyDeleteNice job on the prezi! I like how there's even a seperate place for other presentations you have created. Maybe next time you could also link the photograph so when you click on it it takes you to the prezi?
ReplyDeleteI have never used Lynda before, but it looks like a great tool that can be used in the classroom in many ways, as well as for beneficial uses by teachers. Do you think it would be beneficial for teachers to teach students how to use Lynda? Also, you're Prezi shows great CRAP design that we learned about in class.I really like the color scheme a lot, as well as the way that you decided to present the information you learned from Lynda. Also, are all Lynda tutorials free or do you have to pay to have access to all Lynda tutorials?
ReplyDeleteThis was awesome! I loved your background for the presentation and found the information very helpful. This is a Lynda worth checking out. I have wondered about the price--did it say how much it costs to get more than 15 gigs of data? I use Google Docs mostly for pictures and I use up a ton of space.
