For my second Independent Learning Project, I had to participate in a professional development activity. We had a wide range of options to choose from, and I ended up choosing to participate in a LinkedIn learning course. The course was called "Getting Things Done", by David Allen. I really enjoyed the process of going through this course, because I have never completed something quite like it, and I feel like I learned a lot about how to stay organized and on task. To complete my project, I had to make a free trial account on the LinkedIn Learning website (the trial will last me a month). I then had to choose which course I wanted to take. Once I clicked on the course, I was automatically taken to a page to complete it. There were many videos to watch, and a toolbar on the side in case I wanted to follow along or take notes. Once I completed the course, "Getting Things Done", I then had to make a PowerPoint presentation on what I learned. After creating the PowerPoint, I uploaded it to voicethread.com in order to comment on each of my slides. My voice thread is linked below, so check it out! Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this project. I feel as though it benefited me for my future career as a teacher, because teachers always have a lot of tasks to complete, and "Getting Things Done" helped me to understand how to complete tasks in a timely, organized manner. Thanks for reading!
Alyssa,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you learned a lot! I also did a Voice Thread on LinkedIn, it is such a great resource! I love the topic too, staying organized is crucial!
Alyssa! I, too, feel as though the Participation aspect of this assignment has benefited me. However, the course I completed was about Sustainability. So wonderful that our courses were very different, yet benefited us both. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI used LinkedIn Learning too, I thought it was super useful and an easy tool. I like how you took a class on organization and staying on task is super smart because that's something that can be applied to all aspects of your life.
ReplyDeleteAlyssa, did you access to LinkedIn Learning through myFSU portal? It is under resources menu and you will be automatically logged in without needing to create a free-trial account.
