Summary of Learning

For my summary of learning, I decided to use Google Slides as my artifact.  The reason I chose Google Slides is because I have never used it or experimented with it before.  I was hoping to be able to see a difference between Google Slides and regular PowerPoint but unfortunately there was not a very great difference.  However, after starting my summary of learning I really enjoyed being able to pick out a slide theme, fonts, colors, etc.

My biggest take-away's from EdTech would be the understanding of TPACK, blended learning, copyright, and the surprisingly enjoyment of blogging.  Most importantly though, I will take with me everything that I learned about eBooks.  Learning about the eBooks really caught my eye because it is a very great way for special needs kids to feel engaged and learn along with the class.  Since I will be working with autistic children as an educator, I can take what I learned about eBooks and hopefully transfer it into my own teachings.

In my future classroom, I plan to use technology a lot of the time but not all of the time.  I want my students to be able to have fun, experiment, do things on their own online but I also want them to learn through face-to-face interaction.  I hope to teach my students that technology is a responsibility and if that is how you want to learn, you'll have to understand it is all on you to read, type, research, etc.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class and am excited to incorporated my learning with my future teachings!  Below is my slideshow, enjoy!

Major project wrap up.

By doing this major project, I didn't realize how much time and work would need to be put into it but it was completely worth it and I learned so much more than I thought I would.  While searching the internet for makeup products, I came across many different products I have never heard of before and even some great deals on certain brands.  I also picked up on some makeup tips that I found while specifically searching for contour products.  I not only used those tips during this project but I plan to use them in the future as well.  It's amazing to see how much more you can learn online even if you thought you already knew it all.  

I thoroughly enjoyed this project and all it's work!

Finally...

My end result and overall look on a typical day!

Shades on shades

Lipstick is my FAVORITE part when applying makeup.  It comes in hundreds of different shades and can be worn if you’re just going out to lunch with a friend or having a night out on the town.  Anyone can pull off any color.  Many women may disagree but if you put the right lipstick with the right makeup and outfit…you’re unstoppable.  Through these photos I will show you my four favorite shades of lipstick and when it becomes appropriate to where each color!

This color would be great for a family dinner, lunch with a girlfriend, or for a casual date.

I love wearing this color on an everyday basis. To class, to the mall, to work, etc. It's a great casual look!

---

This is my favorite color to wear on our girls night out. It's perfect for the casual bar scene or a fancy dinner. It's all about what you're wearing!

This wine color lip liner (yes you can wear it as lipstick) is great to wear if you're going out in a big city, a hot date, or if you just want to feel sexy for the night. I love it!

Let's make those eyes POP

With eye shadow, different shades work best with different eye colors.  For example, shades of purples, greens, browns, and golds work best for hazel eyes.  For brown eyes, any shade will work but if you want to make your eyes really pop it’s best to go with a vibrant blue.  Shades of brown and gold will bring out green eyes very well.  Finally, shades of purple/blue and a neutral rust color would really help the blue in the eyes pop drastically.  In my case, I have hazel eyes and use mostly shades of brown and gold for a day time look and browns, golds, and purples for a night time look.

(Don't mind the corner of my eye brow, there's a scar that makes it hard for eye shadow or foundation to cover)

First foundation, then...

Contouring is the art of shading, framing, and highlighting your face to bring out or lessen distinct features.  When contouring, it’s important to make sure you use your foundation first and you are using the same color family or it will end up discoloring your face.  Also when contouring, be sure to blend all of the defined and highlighted areas!  Notice in my contour picture how I shaded around my cheeks to bring out my cheek bone.

REMEMBER!

With the list of products I posted last week, it’s important to remember that different products work for different people.  According to sources online and professional reviews, those products have the best quality and are known to last almost 24 hours on your face!  In my case, which you will see through photos that I will post during the next few weeks, I use a couple of those products but with my very sensitive skin I have to substitute. Don’t mind my pale skin but that’s what make up is for, right?! ;)
