My educational and professional development was expanded
this semester in EDU 314. It began a little crazy because I was unsure what was
going on and I was not very technologically inclined. As the semester
progressed I learned a great deal about making web pages using all of the
Microsoft Office tools, Paint, Nvu, and many other programs. I especially liked
learning how the webpage worked and how easy it was to add things to it. I
always thought that there was more to making a webpage than there actually is.
I liked having the power to control the things on my website and being about to
show them off. I do feel like I have learned a lot in this class, though it
took time. I learned that most of the technological glitches can be fixed but
there are some that cannot be explained. Technology is so fun! I knew how to
use most, almost all, of the Microsoft Office tools but becoming more familiar
with them and their full capabilities was great. I have never used Nvu before
but it was a great experience. It was part of my professional development
growth to learn how to use this for my future classrooms. I can use this later
to set up a webpage for my students and their parents to check out.
