This class presented me with many challenges this
semester. Although I am familiar with
the computer, I can have a difficulty understanding new tasks on it. There
were a lot of times during the semester where I didn't think I was going to be
able to finish all of the assignments listed. As the semester progressed
however, I became more familiar with the Nvu and WSFTP, which greatly helped.
All of the projects
for this class provide future teachers with a great deal of background for
future teachers. My favorite project was the digital photostory because it
allowed us to incorporate our own lives into this class. I plan on using
this in my future classroom and for loved ones!
The most difficult
project was the webquest. It can be
challenging to work in a group because you must take everyone’s opinion into
consideration and learn to compromise with others. Also, the google site was difficult to work
with because at that point I was used to Nvu and it was challenging to
distinguish between the two programs.
However, it was incredibly rewarding when the final product was
complete. My group put our heads
together to come up with a webquest that is extremely beneficial!
I have enjoyed this class because it will aid me in becoming a more effective teacher who has many different ways of presenting information to the class. I enjoyed the time we were able to work on our projects without being interrupted because that is when most of the work was completed. Also, my creativity was uninterrupted during this process as well.
