The purpose of having this information is to give a starting point for where we are with the information that will be learned in the class. I liked this activity because it made me reflect on where I was with my technology abilities. I will use a form of this idea for an activity in my speech therapy sessions to get a better idea of where my client and/or their family stand with therapy and their experience(s).

The name tent is a great idea for a teacher to get to know the names and faces of their students. In this class, we used the name tents to take attendance.

I really enjoyed this activity because I like physically writing out my goals to have as a visual. I used this activity to put my goals and aspirations for graduate school into words to refer back to. I see myself using this in the future for my next goal or plan.

This activity was the most useful activity that I can use in my everyday life. On a daily basis, I visit many different websites and it is very convenient to have them all in one place. In the future, I will make one of these for my most visited websites and set it as my home screen for easy access.

Using Publisher to make a flyer or handout is something that will be very convenient for me in the future. I can see myself using all of the applications Publisher has to offer for making information guides for my future clients.

Canva is a great tool for creating a slide presentation. There are features on it that I really enjoyed, such as layouts and designs, that other platforms do not offer. In the future, I can see myself using this for other classes. I will also share this tool with my parents who do presentations for work.

This assignment of taking pictures of different aspects of LSU was a lot of fun! We pass by these buildings everyday but never think to take pictures of them. We definitely do not think to appreciate them, whereas tourists come daily to get the chance to see these statues and sports arenas.

Keynote was an application I had never used before to make a presentation. I liked that the transitions offered make the presentation smoother and flow better. I also like how it is compatible with my Mac and is free so I do not have to download and pay for anything else. I can see myself using Keynote for future presentations.

I had never thought of creating a blog in the past but after using it, I can see the value in it. I liked it to be able to discuss topics that I enjoy and want to share with others. I also like Blogger to help plan a trip with a large group of people. Instead of trying to coordinate through a group message, this is a much more organized way to do so.

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are commonly misunderstood and the differences between the two are not truly known. Virtual Reality is an experience that is 100% simulated but it can be very similar or completely different from the real world. It allows you to go experience anything you can think of, that you may not have the opportunity to do in real life. Augmented Reality is an interactive experience of the real-world. Objects in the outside world are simply enhanced by a computer-generated program and uses multiple senses in the process.

The day we used the Goggles and VR apps was a very cool experience to have. This is not something that most students have the chance to do in their classes, so it was very enjoyable. The ability to create my own landscape of the mountains was very interesting because I was also able to see it from my own angle. I have not been to the mountains but once in my life so it was neat to get to act like I was there for just a few minutes.

CoSpaces Edu is an app where you can create your own space. I chose to do the mountains because that is one landscape I have not seen many times in my life and wanted to experience what it was like. Even though it was animated, the views were beautiful and very believable! Google tour Creator was very enjoyable as well because it allowed me to go back to my childhood house that I have not seen in many years. It was surreal to get to see it again and include it with one of my favorite places in Baton Rouge. That place just so happens to be Tiger Stadium, which I consider to be like a second home to me with how much I love it and the connection I have to it.

In the future, I see many chances to get to use blogs. This is a great format to get to communicate with others about possible group trips or even for a group project. Sometimes, it is hard to communicate with group members via text message and a blog will allow us to share ideas and talk freely about what we need to accomplish. I am so glad I now have the experience I do with Blogger so I can utilize it in many areas of my life from here on out.

This was my favorite project of this class, and not only because of the tour of the Ops building! My group worked together really well and we all put in an equal amount of work. Deciding on our topic was easy, but the catchy name was harder to think of. I have also always wanted to learn how to edit a movie or video in this way and I can finally do so. This is not a tool that most people have, so I can go share my knowledge with the next iMovie that I make.

Making a website is something that I was always curious how to do. I have been asked at work to create a website for the company. Google Sites was so easy to use and straightforward which is what I liked most about it! I also enjoyed how this was a better way of making a biography presentation for a class. The website platform and tabs offer more room and space to add information and pictures.

Hey y'all! My name is Allison Becker and welcome to my website! I am a senior at Louisiana State University studying Communication Disorders. I will be graduating in December 2019 with my Bachelor of Arts degree. I am from Baton Rouge, Louisiana but spent most of my life growing up in Loveland, Ohio. My family and I love to spend time together and mess with one another. I love spending time with my friends or just curling up on the couch with my dog and watching a movie. Hope you enjoy following along to what is to come in my life!

Having a class Facebook page is a great idea! With social media being so popular, students are much more inclined to check Facebook for announcements, instead of an email or Moodle. It also offers a better way for students to communicate with one another if they have a question or need some extra help. This would even be a good idea for a group of students to make for a project or help with class materials.

I did my final presentation on how to properly fold the American flag. This is a skill that most people either do not know exists or know how to do. I have grown up seeing it being preformed and have always been intrigued by it.

I really enjoyed using Padlet to make a portfolio. It is an easy way to put all of the work we have done in one place for easy access. Once our class is taken off of Moodle, we will not have access to the direct links of our work, which is where Padlet makes everything so convenient. The only down side of using Padlet was how it was not very easy to move each piece around. It had a mind of its own and would move the piece to where it wanted it to and not necessarily where you intended for it to go.

Using a screencast software was actually much easier than I originally thought it would be. It is something that I will use in the future for explaining a topic or notes to someone that might have missed class, for example. Despite not being a fan of recording myself, I really enjoyed using screencastomatic!

I really enjoyed this class and am going to miss it a lot! I am not great with technology or working with computers, but I think I was able to improve in some aspects throughout the semester. As I mentioned throughout this Padlet, I improved with using Google Sites, iMovie, Screencastomatic and Keynote, to name a few.

My next step after this class: I will be graduating in December 2019 and going to work at a speech therapy clinic before going to graduate school next fall. Over the holidays, I am taking a girls trip to Houston and my childhood best friend is coming to visit. I will also be traveling to Atlanta to watch our Tigers play in our first playoff game!! Geaux Tigers!!

Hope you have a great next semester! My email is aebecker33@gmail.com.
