Intro to E-Learning!

This week I started the fourth course in the Educational Technology Masters Degree Program at Louisiana State University. This program has been a great addition to my life as I work towards developing an early literacy preschool curriculum named "The Jolivet Maze: a cheerful path." This semester I am enrolled in Design & Development of Multimedia Instructional Units ELRC 7505 with Dr. Monroe. I am excited to learn e-learning fundamentals and to create tangible e-learning units to use with a preschool curriculum.

How I Will Incorporate Future Artifacts From ELRC 7505 into The Jolivet Maze:

While taking courses at LSU we encouraged to develop artifacts/scenarios based on current projects from our real lives. This has been a great benefit to me as I often use the preschool curriculum and I am simultaneously building a business around as a Lafayette, Louisiana entrepreneur. I am excited for the tangible products I will have upon completion of this course. As well as the knowledge and resources I will use to create more e-learning modules for The Jolivet Maze curriculum.

What You Can Expect In The Coming Weeks:

Over the next seven weeks you can look forward to weekly blog post displaying multimedia artifacts and educational products. I will include comments and analysis regarding how these products support an early literacy preschool curriculum.

The Pre-K III Mini Garden Activity is an example of a worked example presentation I completed using many multimedia principles such as Personalization principle and Coherence principle. Its a step by step guide on how to plant a seed with a collaborative garden activity for preschool students.

Advocating For Letter Recognition Skills In Pre-Kindergarten Students

Advocacy in North Lafayette, La.        As 2024 begins I find myself going on 4 years outside the classroom. Its still very important for me to advocate for students. Currently in my position as a preschool curriculum developer my advocacy for students looks different. Its important for me to spread my cause by creating research opportunities and building my knowledge regarding curriculum writing and early literacy skills. Specifically, it is important for preschool students that attend in-home child care to to have access to early literacy curriculums and lessons that will build their letter recognition skills. Data is showing that students entering Kindergarten from in-home child care are far more behind than students from Head Start Programs, Day Care Facilities and Pre-Schools with educational curriculums.      Advocacy is important because it acts as a representative for under represented groups in spaces where they are not prevalent. such as stud...
