Revisit Resume

Rezscore Grade

I have been trying most of the day, to get my resume to format in Google Docs so I can submit it to Rezscore. When I created the document directly through Google Docs, the formatting stays the same. However, Rezscore does not recognize it as resume doc and won't open the file!  Soooo, I saved my Google Doc resume as a Word doc, which Rezscore seems to prefer, but the formatting kept getting thrown off! I was finally able to resolve this, however, 'Tabs' have never been my friend, and this proved to be quite the challenge! Especially, since I am a bit of a perfectionist!! 

I was able to use TechSmith's Jing, as a screen capture tool, which is great, because I am not able to download MS Snipping Tool! I created a link to a copy of my Rezscore grade which is viewed via Jing's, screencast.com.

I have to play around with Jing a bit, to see exactly what it can do, but it looks like a handy tool for both texting/email uses- need to send a friend directions to a restaurant so they can meet you for dinner? Send a clip of the map showing the restaurant's location, in a snap!! Whether you need a web publishing tool, or designing a presentation, Jing replaces former programs, such as PowerPoint! It is a fun and user friendly program.

Jing would be a wonderful tool to incorporate images/video for visual presentations to students, via the Smart Board or Promethian Board. The ISTE/NETS-T standard this relates to is: Facillitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity; through demonstrating the use and understanding new technologies for creating meaningful, attention-getting learning experiences in the classroom. This tool incorporates the theoretical TPACK framework, by intersecting the completed activity (T) (a presentation to art students on creating a cityscape drawing), via the use of visual aids (P) (pictures of major city skylines) as an examples (CK) to further a student's imagination.

Now, as for Rezscore, that was a pain in the butt! I got different scores for my resume, depending upon whether I was submitting a GD doc uploaded as a Word doc, or submitting a Word doc directly, although saved under my GD. It seems to be a completely subjective tool, which I don't intend to use in the future!
