Section 1
My background of this Padlet is my puppy, Murphy :)

Natchez Mississippi has been considered home for me from day 1. Growing up only an hour and a half away from Baton Rouge, my family has always been Tiger fans (despite the state line). I enjoyed growing up in a small community that enabled me to easily gain several friends from different schools across towns and play various sports at my small high school. I particularly enjoyed cross country, which encouraged me to continue running in college.
My father manages nursing homes and I was often given the opportunity to shadow him and the broad variety of employees that worked within each of them. After watching a speech therapist perform dysphagia therapies on one of her patients I knew that this is what I wanted to do (hence my COMD major). I hope to be able to work with a broad range of clients; from those with intellectual disabilities to those with TBI, and help them build and grow confidence and communicative function.
As far as my technological background, I have only ever owned a MacBook Pro as a computer and my last 3 or so phones have been iPhones. I’m pleased to say I can usually help my mom troubleshoot issues she has when using her own iPhone, but that is about as savvy as I am with technology. I have a small background working with the music software, Logic, but only with the assistance of two of my friends who were creating a song they put out on Spotify (which is cooler than anything I’ve been a part of).

The name tent was made so that it was easier for our classmates to learn one another's names. I liked that we had these and they definitely helped me learn everyone's name quicker than it would if we didn't have them! Also, it was a great way for Mrs. Debbie to see who was in class each day and who was not.

A goal is something that you want to overcome in the long term. Objectives are what you overcome to reach each of your goals.

For some reason you cannot see it all here :)

Popplet is a great way to create a virtual portfolio. You may use this so that your students/co workers can get to know you, and vice versa. It was very easy to use and visually pleasing.

Both Symbaloo and Diigo are bookmarking sites. By using these sites, they enable us to organize our desktop so that we can access the sites that we use most commonly more efficiently.

Though you may not be able to see all of the details in the below overview, the concept map made for the brochure made it so much easier for me to create the actual brochure in Publisher.

Publisher is very visually pleasing and easy to use. This application has several templates to choose from that start you off on any project you want to make, from business cards, to fliers. I personally enjoyed using Publisher because it made me feel artistic (even though I was using a template :).

I especially like this app because it relates to my future job, Speech Therapy. I love the fact that it can be used in so many ways, for those with disabilities in the classroom, to anyone who doesn't have the time to read/doesn't want to read. I enjoyed the app that was presented about pranking people with text messages.

I created this Blog for the purpose of those who don't understand Speech Therapy to be able to read and comprehend it on a personal level, coming from someone who is studying the field. Blogger could be used for personal or educational use. I like that you can spice it up as much as you want with your own personality.

Working in my group: The 3 of us worked very well together. Everyone was laid back and evenly contributed to the project. I had a great time working with Morgan and Allie.
Deciding on Topic: It was easy for us to decide on our topic. We knew we wanted to focus on a certain population, not just generally LSU students and we wanted to do something different that what was presented to us before we started our own project.
Making our iMovie: I like that we used iMovie to create the videos, but I wish we were able to take them home on our own computers to work on them and had more time than only class time to work on them. Other than being short with time, it was easy to make!

This was the first time I have ever created a website and I enjoyed Google sites because it was easy to use! The templates are modern and visually pleasing and make it easy for you to move on from one topic to the next. Each of my pages contain around the same amount of information and I am overall happy with the ending result!

In the distant future, I hope to be living somewhere in the South (I'd prefer Tennessee... who wouldn't?) working as a speech language pathologist for either people with autism, or stroke victims, or potentially both!

I really liked the idea of the class Facebook page. This could even be used throughout the year, not only for the final presentations. My favorite part about it is the fact that you receive notifications if anyone has posted. This is easier to access than email sometimes, especially on your Mobile device.

Vocaroo is an easy way to tape audio files of your voice that you can use personally or insert a voiceover into a presentation to make it easier to present. QR codes are used to trademark some sort of information. A company can use them to advertise and allow people to access websites easier by just scanning them using phones.

This was one of my favorites. The hand out I created for the class was so fun to make, I was making myself laugh (I'm so cheesy).

I REALLY liked using Padlet for this portfolio. It's easy to customize and make personal for you. Check out my puppy, Murphy, that I used as my background :)
I could see myself using this in the future as a presentation, maybe to change it up rather than using PowerPoint.

This was very straightforward and cool! I've always wondered how people took videos of their computer screens... Glad to know how! I will most likely use this again one day. Below is the youtube link of my screencastomatic of this paddle. This wasn't included in the video of course because hadn't done it yet to post it. :)

I enjoyed this class so much. I can honestly say I learned a lot, and I enjoyed the challenge of having tap into my creative side. I hadn't heard of most of the sites we used. I enjoyed being able to work with such a tight-knit class and how personable you were, Mrs. Debbie.
The only thing I would "improve" is the amount of time given to work on the Youtube movie with our groups!
This summer I am starting school at LSUNO for speech pathology. I will graduate in 2021 (hopefully)! Please reach out anytime you are in town! I'd love to see you and meet your Cammie!
I will especially miss our morning rides together and being able to eat breakfast with you. You graciously understood when we had to miss and were always asking about what was going on in our life. Thank you for being a great role model during my last semester at LSU. :)
