Recorded Sessions

I have worked with many different software options with online capabilities. My Master's degree at FSU used a very limited (and early) version of Blackboard and after a few years my Specialist's degree at UGA used a more encompassing and later version of Blackboard. As a student, both were good sources of communication and organization for the classes.

As a teacher, I have used USATestPrep to accent my teaching by having students take tests and reinforcement activities. I like this, but it is very limited on what can be done for instruction.
 I have also used Edmodo, but so far; only as a communication with other teachers on ideas of certain lessons. It does have the capability of more, but I have other CMSs that I use in a more boarder scope.

Gwinnett County's Online School and most of the central office uses the Desire2Learn format. This, of course, is the one I am use to the most. I am not a big fan of it because I am not as proficient in it as I should be. I feel that it is harder to use and the development of individual lessons takes larger than it should. As I get more training and use it more often, I will become better and will utilize it better as my school uses it for instruction.

I have found that Google + is easier to understand and easier to upload lessons and data. Google Drive can read most documents, PDFs, and most multimedia. It is quick to upload former lessons and presentations. I have used Google + to develop most of my CMSs for the past school year.
