Meeting with Kevin & Boolean Slots Updates

I met with Kevin on Tuesday to go over the updates I made the night before. He had a number of good suggestions including working on timing for the slides that are text heavy and working on the images. We think that using images for words, whenever possible, makes sense in light of recent research suggesting students tend towards visual learners today.

Tonight I streamlined the background image. This meant I had to use Photoshop to modify the background, I had to figure out how to move images to the “back” of the slide in Captivate, and I had to manipulate about a third of the slides.

It was productive, and I think a good exercise.

I’m going out of town for the next two days, so I’m going to spend this time focusing on the practicum goal of becoming familiar with online pedagogy. I have a number of articles that I’ll be taking with me, and I’ll post a report of my reading when I get back online.
