Lynda is a website that contain a ton of online courses to add and improve a plethora of skills to your arsenal. I chose to look at this resource for my personal learning network, and I found this website to be quite useful. I really enjoyed looking through all of the courses you can take. I took a leadership course to try it out, and I enjoyed it overall. I like the pdfs of diagrams and info they give you along with the course as well. Lynda was a great way to improve skills, which can prove to be useful for whatever profession you choose to go into.

Doing the video for my Educational Technology class was a very fun and informative project. I had a great time learning how to create my own video, adding special effects, music, and text to make it a higher quality. I created a video on how George Washington became the first president of the United States. It was interesting to go back back and appreciate how everything worked out perfectly for the U.S. Constitution to be created, and without George Washington, there may never have been a Constitution. WeVideo was very user friendly, and easy to learn. I think WeVideo would be a great tool to use as a project in my classroom.

If interested to learning more about the life of George Washington, this website provides great information on our first president!
