Day 12: CANVAS

Today, we started learning about CANVAS learning management system. I am happy that I already use CANVAS, so I have an idea of what I am doing. I went ahead and created my free CANVAS account so that I can use this in my classroom if I care to do so.

We received a headset with microphone. This is ideal for use with CANVAS to record audio. I learned how to record audio using the microphone. This is will help with my online community college courses, even if I do not use CANVAS with my high school classes.

We learned about copyright today. There is so much to absorb, but we have some freedoms as educators.

Storify is an awesome website. I can really see myself using this in my community college courses. I will post a link to one below.

Observation about department technology:

• Audio in the classrooms (201, 203, 255) is lacking. The sound level is too low for video to be a an effective instructional tool
