@aguarini9 This is such a big problem while trying to use images but there are many websites that have ways to get rid of the background and also have pictures with transparent backgrounds already. #eLearn5560
For this weeks journal entry I decided to talk about how eLearning can be used in athletics. An example I provided would be for a coach to make a module for players to read through on certain plays and come to practice the next day and run through the plays in person. #eLearn5560
@TiffGip This game sounds extremely fun and useful at the same time. It seems to help build cognitive skills and also keeps you engaged while doing so because it’s a game. I will definitely give this a try. #eLearn5560
This week I created my final storyboard for my eLearning game and realized how important the use of storyboards can be. Storyboards can be useful in many aspects of life and can help organize thoughts and outline ideas for programs and other instructional modules. #eLearn5560
@DJWardMAIT2023 This is a great tip and I can definitely see how this minor detail can effect someone. Making shorter and more logical titles are easier for people to understand and allows for no confusion in the assignment. #eLearn5560
This week we went over ADA and how it could effect people in every walk of life. Having websites that are accessible for all and allows for them to use them no matter if they have a disability or not should be a priority. This offers a fair chance for everyone. #eLearn5560
Screw your “Optimal Preparation Routine”
In late 2022 Jacob Degrom was coming off a shoulder injury that kept him off the mound for 4 months.
Seeing that his first start of the year would come less than 20 miles from where I lived, I made the split decision to go see Degoat in person
I got to the park two hours before game time
Hoping to catch a glimpse of some magical pregame preparation from one of the best in the game
As I sat just behind the catcher near the bullpen. I watched every move from the time Jacob walked out of the dugout to his first pitch on the game mound.
And what did I find???
NOTHING
I mean the guys warm up was one of the most basic, vanilla warm ups I’d ever seen!!!
Regimented? Sure.
He made his first throw exactly 20 minutes before game time.
6:45. Right on the dot.
Was watching the clock and AS SOON as it hit 6:45, he turned to the catcher and made his first throw
No weighted balls. No bands. No sprints
Looked like a standard high school warm up.
“Few jogs, few of theeese, few of theeese….”
Some light stretching and catch play was all he needed before promptly going to the game mound and hitting 101 on his third pitch.
Does this mean that Degrom is a freak?
Well, yes.
But it also shows how irrelevant a specific prep routine can be for a large majority of players
Jacob found what works for him and he stuck to it
I encourage you to do the same.
Having a mapped out plan for how you want to attack an outing is crucial, but the contents of that routine can vary based on the individual.
If you need more prep, more CNS activation, more mobility before your outing to perform your best, so be it!
If you HATE long periods of thought and careful planning before you throw, maybe tossing a football around for your “weighted ball routine” could be a better option
Just some thoughts.

@TiffGip This is a very important topic and should be focused on by more people. I would think that this is a bigger focus among networks to make sure that sites are more accessible to all. #eLearn5560
This week I decided to talk about using eLearning games in the classroom and I believe that they are very useful for creating a great competitive learning environment for the students. I believe that these should be used more often in classrooms. #elearn5560
@PierogigonNick Hey @PierogigonNick this is a concept that I’ve never heard of before but the video was very clear at explaining this concept. I can also see how this can come into play when developing games and other large scale projects. Great job! #eLearn5560
For this weeks journal I decided to right about the benefits that eLearning brings for student athletes. With vigorous schedules having the ability to complete their studies on a road trip or even when they are staying overnight for games, is a huge benefit. #elearn5560
@TiffGip This tool seems very simple and easy to use and could definitely see myself using it in the future for creating a quiz. Great job! #eLearn5560
When making my quiz using “qzzr”for this weeks assignment I was surprised with how customizable the quiz can be with the multiple different options it allows you to change in order to create your own unique quiz. I highly recommend this tool to anyone. #eLearn5560
@lizvisual1 I agree this feature is super creative and allows for the test maker to try new things and see how creative they can be with this idea. I will definitely be using this more often when designing quizzes and hope that people enjoy how creative it can be. #eLearn5560
After making our own interactive quizzes using PowerPoint I decided to look into other quiz creating tools. One tool I recently learned about was @ProProfs which is one we use in this class a good amount. It is very simple and easy to navigate for users. #eLearn5560
@RachelD98977467 This seems like a very useful tool for teachers and people that deal with people that could be slacking off. This insures that the material is being taken in or atleast read over by the user. Thank you for the awesome tip. #eLearn5560
