About

I am currently in the course EDIT 6028, Spring 2017. This page is a representation of what I have learned this semester. Each image below is linked to a Power-Point presentation. Each presentation includes actively linked images and screen tips to help facilitate navigation through the slides.Most of this page is dedicated to Moodle; a learning management system used by many schools across the country. Moodle can be used for traditional, hybrid on full-online courses.

Helpful Tips
  • Snag-it is a great application to use to quickly grab images off the internet and create videos. I used snag-it to create any video or image you find below.
  • Screen-cast is an online resource where you can create an account and load all of your videos onto the site. It not only stores them, but it also provides a URL link so you can easily share your videos without the problem of the file being too big to share. You can easily hyperlink your work to the address as seen in VPDR-02 or VPDR-03.
