Assignment 5 (Interactive PPT)
Personally, I enjoy doing this assignment because I like to create presentations. However, I have never made an interactive PowerPoint before (I have only seen some in high school classes) so I also acquired some new skills while working on the assignment. I learned how to add animations and triggers to each element (such as photos, graphics, text-boxes, etc.), disable the linear navigation on all screens, include navigation buttons of my choice, and incorporate sounds into transitions and/or animations. Besides, I don't really have any dislike for this assignment except for the fact that I had to create quite a lot of slides (and I am a bit lazy if I have to do the same actions over and over). Still, I am satisfied with my work, and you can see a snapshot of my interactive PPT for a World Trivia quiz below. Take a look at it and let me know what you think!

Data collection (Surveys)
As a future teacher of English language for Vietnamese high school students (grades 10-12), I will probably create a survey at the beginning of the school year to learn how students think and feel about their English education so far, before taking my class. Using the survey can help me get to know the students by creating a confidential, personal space where students can freely express themselves, confess their concerns, and give their expectations for my class. During the class, I may design surveys to collect students' opinions on reading and writing materials (for example, traditional physical books versus eBook/PDF files) or new ideas for in-class interactive activities. I may also gather information and data regarding students' familiarity with technological tools/applications and the frequency of using social media for daily communications.

Reviewing Peer Blogs
I find it interesting for me to read my classmates' blogs because I can know about their opinions on certain topics (such as assignments, technical tools/ideas, personal hobbies, and more) and learn some new things. Sometimes, judging from their style of writing and language choice, I may be able to guess their personalities or characteristics, too. Each person has their own thoughts and feelings so it is never boring to read people's blogs. Especially, I also enjoy viewing everyone's assignment designs (the screenshots of their teacher website, infographics, PPTs, etc.). Overall, everyone does a great job at writing blogs and designing blog sites, so let's keep it up, even after this class! :)

Tech-flex and Digital Badges
Honestly, I did not do a lot of Tech-flex or Digital badges activities, just 4-5 of them. However, those optional activities are very interesting, and they teach me some new computer skills, too. These include FSU LinkedIn Learning, Google Map, Fall 2021 EME 2040 Student Badge, etc. Some of the tech-flexes are a bit complex and time-consuming than others, too (that's why I often choose easier ones to complete). Here are some badges that I earned.

Future technology-related skills
I would like to learn about coding (people say it's hard but useful to know) and maintenance, just in case I need to fix my laptop or technological devices. It's more convenient and time-sufficient if I can repair things myself without going to shops or IT service places. Learning these topics can improve my computer skills and serve as a small unique ability that may help me stand out from others. When I have time, I will learn coding by watching tutorial videos and online lessons so that I can control my pace and time (instead of taking a class). Learning coding and maintenance over a long time allows me to remember the steps better, too.

Hi Linnie!
ReplyDeleteI think coding is so cool, and an awesome skill to learn. I do not know how to code, but my friend who is a computer science major does and it looks very cool. I think it would be amazing if you learned it!
Hi Linnie!!
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed Assignment 5 a lot! It was my first time doing an interactive powerpoint as well, and I learned a lot of the same things that you did! Despite the repition involved, it was like a fun puzzle to work out. It was something to be proud of at the end.
I love your future goals, and I love how you plan to use surveys! The work you are going into is really cool! I fully agree with giving students that confidential space to express their concers. I had not considered using surveys to make quick in class adjustments, like giving students reading material choices. I like that and may steal it from ya!
I also enjoyed reading everyone's blogs and I think I will keep it up after this class!
I did not do any tech flex or digital badges in comparison to your 4-5. Your badges are really cool, and I am slightly jealous.
Wow! I chose learning Excel for my next tech goal! You chose the most difficult thing that you probably could have! I fully believe that you can do it, and I wish you luck on that endeavor!
Hey Linnie! Your interactive powerpoint looks super interesting. I love the theme and fonts that you used! I have actually done some coding in high school for a digital media class. It's actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Good luck! :)
