•http://edu.glogster.com/: Make your interactive poster online and share it with friends. Mix Images, Text, Music and Video. It is fantastic!

My Infographic Resume


create infographics with visual.ly

This was the easiest thing to do! All you have to do is fill in your information to LinkedIn and then go to Visual.ly and click on the Create Tab at the top. Click the theme you want and embed away! The only thing I can’t control is my year’s of experience…says 23.9 years but it is really 13 years.

Educator’s Community of Practice: Making Inferences

Making Inferences

Welcome to our first Educator’s Community of Practice for Spring 2013. As promised, I waited for Song Contest to start us up again so I hope you all had a restful Spring Break! Today, we will be exploring how and why teaching students how to make good inferences is important to their own decision and life making. Here are the slides we will be discussing. Should you have any questions, please contact me.

The Power of Time

Wrapped in an overview and compelling argument about how our life decisions are founded in our own perspectives of time, I wonder if teachers, parents, and even administrators might be informed by Dr. Zimbago’s lecture on Time Perspectives.

At your convenience, please watch his mesmerizing lecture (2010) to better help understand how we might be able to help our students, coworkers, and ourselves make better life decisions.

USC Collaborative Tools

Hi Classmates,

Here’s the screenshot tutorial I made to discuss some of the collaborative tools we could use to help each other out. I have also shown you how to create a Google Doc in the Shared Folder so that you don’t have to email anything anymore and everything will have the appropriate naming protocol. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Melia
