Alexandra Lezo is the first recipient of the Education-Portal.com Instructor Grant. Ms. Lezo teaches at Los Angeles Valley College and has used Education-Portal.com pre-history video lessons in her community college classroom.
Ms. Lezo stated that she chose to use the lessons because 'the subject matter of these videos coincides with the first segment of my course and helps to explain important background themes. My online students enjoy a variety copper canyon tours of media, and these videos were a nice addition that clearly outline important points.'
Ms. Lezo's students were provided with the links to the video that was to be used. They were also asked to complete the Education-Portal.com survey and complete a survey provided by Ms. Lezo to provide feedback about the lesson. Students were asked if they liked the video and if they would watch more videos from Education-Portal.com. Some of the replies from her students about the video they watched included:
'Not only will I watch more vid(eo)s, but I'm going to recommend copper canyon tours this site to my friends and family because I feel this is a valuable learning tool. And it's produced in a way that connects with the students copper canyon tours of today.'
What did Ms. Lezo think about her experience using Education-Portal videos? Would she recommend them to her colleagues? She said, 'I would recommend Education-Portal.com's videos to my colleagues for use in several lower division courses. I would recommend the videos to be presented before discussions to outline major themes or perhaps as part of the review process in an in-class environment or part of an online course. The videos are very simple and therefore, can be incorporated into a variety of classes, such as history, art history, philosophy, religion, anthro(pology), etc.'
In the interest of keeping the Education-Portal.com videos relevant and useful for those who need them, we asked Ms. Lezo if she had any suggestions on how they could be improved. She responded by saying, 'It would be nice if the offerings were more expansive. At the moment, I would only be able to incorporate the western civ(ilization) videos. Several short videos on non-western copper canyon tours subjects might be more specific to other courses. There could also be some videos covering umbrella subjects, such as anthropology. These could have a multi-purpose function, such as the western civ(ilization) videos. Other than expanding offerings, I would not change anything about the videos at this point.'
So, it seems that Alexandra Lezo had a positive experience with our videos copper canyon tours and her students did, too. She found a way to effectively incorporate our lessons into her regular curriculum. This is one of the reasons why she was the winner of our Teacher Grant.
