Hi everyone!
My name is Becky Rhoades and I am in Dr. Lindbeck's OLP Instructional Tech course at ISU! While creating this blog is a requirement of the course, it is also going hand-in-hand with the professional work this semester! My role is to work with individuals in specific grant funded programs on the transition from academia to employment. One of those programs is Certified Nursing Assistant through 3 North Idaho College- Workforce Training Centers. This program has a short lifetime where being able to provide students with the tools for success is a bit more difficult, than say someone completing an 11 month certificate. So how am I suppose to offer my services, not only in such a short period of time, but also to students at branch locations? Blogging!
This conversation was had a week before the semester began, once we realized previous methods were not true best practices. As this course began for me, I realized this was perfect and the right method to take! I have been given the opportunity to develop a Student Success Center website, where my blogging on different tips and techniques can delivered to a mass number of students at one time. We were also to pick a topic to research for the semester on educational technology tools and I chose Educreations https://www.educreations.com . I have begun the collaboration with eLearning at NIC to incorporate some education videos for the students as well.
I am more than excited for not only this semester, but also to implement my course work into my current position professionally. Stayed tuned! I hope to share my work with you all!
