Today’s Big Idea: It is important to consider the “right size” of images, files, presentations, videos and all course content when designing your course – not too much, not too little!

Post a comment below that documents your learning for the day in regards to:
- Blackboard Rubrics
- iPad Apps
- Camtasia or Articulate Studio
I learned how to grade on blackboard by leaving comments directly on the student submission and how to use the rubric in the grading site!
Creating quizzes in articulate – lots of options to get creative
Creating a Google site for HIM Program curriculum and self assessment. Can’t wait to share on Friday!!
I really liked learning about the updated grading options in Bb. I think it will same me a lot of time grading (which is my LEAST favorite activity of all!)
I learned about rubrics in BB that I will definitely use to grade assignments. I learned how to make a Google site. I don’t know that I will use it for class because my students may get confused going in and out of BB. I finally got Camtasia to work and Adobe Presenter. I missed a lot today due to trouble shooting. But, I like what I learned.
I enjoy learning more about PPT capabilities to edit pictures, and learning Articulate Quizmaker capabilities was great. Rose
I really appreciated finding out about the online grading rubrics (Thanks, Tina!) and the suggestion to tell students to not communicate in Bb grading center comments (Thanks, Maureen!). Cools tools I learned about today included “comfychair mission statement generator” (Maureen), northernlit.comunity.uaf.edu (Madara), and adding a banner to Bb (Maureen), I was thrilled to learn that Polleverywhere can now be used asynchronously (that’s great news!). I gave up on Camtasia but expect to explore Adobe Presenter Video Express instead, as well as Explain Everything and Piktochart. All in all, it was a great day! I especially loved learning about Google site design! Dare I venture outside of Bb?? I am giving it serious thought at least for one course.
Again, a packed day of learning!
I now have a vision of how to create more engaging videos. Articulate has given me the tool to accomplish what I really wanted out of this class! Now I need to implement it. Lots of work to do- but having a vision is huge!
