E learning for Instructional Design

The free software that I enjoy using online is the Adobe Photo shop. I may not have access to all the tool presets, but it is a great free software for basic image editing.  I also love how the Office suite free software on Google Docs allow you to save files, share files,  and edit files in reel time with collaborative efforts from other members of the group. What I can appreciate about Google Docs is it can be used as a drop box for larger attachments that can't be sent to Google Mail.

Instructional Design

The first point that was made by the author speaks about online learning and face to face learning differences. Nowadays, I don't have to be face to face to receive an interactive experience or  have virtual chats with instructors and classmates using ipads, smart phones, computers,  the learning capabilities.  I enjoy the different technologies that we are able to use as learning begins to evolve through technology.  Secondly, I understand the point when the researcher made about doing more than working with the architect of technology. The author wants us to learn the reasons behind the construction of instructional technology. Finally, technics being used in instructional technology allows me to think about various aspects to use when determining what format of technology to implement.

How I Use Google Sites

When I decided to work on the Google Sites I felt it would be good for me to post homework assignments and information about myself for students and parents to browse through on their own time. I uploaded a bill board of one of the local radio stations in Detroit. I worked mainly on the Homework assignments link for the month and upcoming field trips. I also posted a graduation picture of myself for students to be able to have a visual of the enjoyment I had when graduating from college with a click here link to read about my adventure through life. Then I have forms and documents for students or parents to download for field trips, syllabus, or any other papers I need to be filed online. This is a link to my radio class. My Radio Class Site

What Lessons Relate to my Profession

The lesson I felt was relevant to my profession is lesson 14:developing an area of expertise and lesson 16: keeping up with the literature in my area of interest.  I look at these two lessons as a link between my Profesional and personal growth. When I do take time out for my personal growth it relates to researching the latest trends and issues in my area of study. I've been practicing the art of audio and video production and technology for over 10 years considering myself very experienced in a practical setting.  What separates me from the rest of my counterparts is that I am using personal time to search for discussion and future strategies that can strengthen the use of audio and  video technology.  In most cases, people believe you can separate work from your personal like.  I believe that my profession is a true representation of what I have a passion for in my personal life.

Why Concept Map for Radio

I choose to do this type of concept map for my students to I indicate how many steps that it takes to complete a Public Service Announcements. I also wanted for my students to understand the proper procedures to acknowledge before the execution of a finish product. This gives students the order of a when it comes to completing a radio public service announcement

3 Differences in Business, P-12, Higher Ed.

The three differences that I notice about instructional design/technology in the context of business, P-12, and education including the following:

Business instructional design/technology is used to promote the skills and training that employees in major corporations need to succeed in a global employment and economic expansion. When dealing with business companies want technology be the driving force of how employees are completing task and the amount of time in takes to complete those task. If technology is used properly employees can learn faster, projects are executed in a timely fashion, and companies profits can grow much quicker. 

P-12 instructional design/technology is in the process of integrating technology around the country in the classrooms. P-12 education technology allows the teacher, students, administration, and parents keep a far better accurate account of the student test scores as the child progress until they reach adulthood. The government understands that our students are competing with a world where global education exist because of technology. The main objective for P-12 education is to use technology as a way for students to learn and assessed for mastery. 

Higher education technology is geared toward how technology is working in professional major of studies for the students. The students in higher education are able to achieve distant learning effectively as the schools are beginning to find other means of recruiting more students to result to college after high school. It is the objective of the higher educational institutions to prepare students to become a professional of a specific study. 

 Is there a particular area or way that you believe your current professional working environment could learn from the other contexts described in these chapters?

What I think my current professional environment should be able to learn from these chapters is that technology has created a world where we all are a click away. If we are going to compete on a global scale we must defend the use of instructional technology for the improvement of humanity. 

Screen Record Capture

It was very difficult to upload the screencast video I made to the web. It was taking entirely too long to upload to the screencast, so I was unable to embed the vide. What I decided to do is use another software located in Quicktime for Mac users. Once I was able to capture the recording of my screen using Quicktime, I posted it to my blog. As a result, I learned with technology you can always find a way to complete a project even if it takes more time to do so.
