Project #8: Reflections on the Learning Journey of Technology

This course has been very challenging for me as my technological skills are not very advanced.  Before this class I was only comfortable with using the internet, email, Microsoft Word, and PowerPoint.  Through taking this class I feel more comfortable with not only these programs but other programs as well.  

Learning how to work with NVU to create websites.  I quickly learned how to navigate through the program, how to add graphics, and how to link pages.  Through using trial and error I managed to create various pages with graphics and links.  

During this course I also learned how to use Google Sites to create my own websites.  I created an Elementary School Site, a projects site, and a WebQuest through Google Sites.  I found Google Sites to be easy to grasp and very easy to navigate.  I learned quickly about adding graphics and links and also how to change the templates for my background.  

I created my own photo story through the Photo Story 3 program which was a lot of fun.  I enjoyed putting in my own pictures and picking out music to play in the background.  I also enjoyed viewing my classmates' photo story projects.  

I also created a brochure through Microsoft Publisher.  This program especially will be useful in my future career.  Being able to create brochures and flyers is extremely important as an educator as they are wonderful tools to use for communication.  


Through everything I have learned in this course I am proud of how far I have come.  I feel that I can use everything I have learned in this course in my own classroom one day.  Using websites, PowerPoints, Microsoft Publisher, and Photo Story will be great tools to add into my curriculum.  These programs will enhance my communication with my students and their parents/guardians.
