Project #8: Reflections on the Learning Journey of Technology


Walking into this class I was very excited about working with computers and learning new things. I am fairly good with using the computer and using the new Microsoft Word 2007.  I had never used NVU or worked with uploading files onto WSFTP.  I enjoyed working with these two programs, I found it very easy to get used to working with them and will use in the future.  I also learned how to use Photo Story 3. I had never used it before and have now downloaded it on my own computer to use for the future. Using all these different softwares will come in very handy when I am a teacher. I can use the Photo Story for a slide show of some sort for my students. As a teacher you could use NVU for many different things.

The one thing I found very frustrating was using Photo Story 3 at first. I had a hard time putting the music on the photo story and getting it to go onto my website. I found out that I wasn't saving it in the right place and got it fixed. I know understand how to use it and am very excited about using it in the future. I will get a lot of use out of it.

I found it easy and hard to work in small groups. It is good working together and learning from each other. The downside to it is that everyone has to save and send everything to one another. When doing the Webquest it was time consuming trying to send everything to one another and trying to link everything. But, I really enjoyed working on it and learning something new.

This class was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. I found it easy to learn how to use all the software and hope to use all of it in the future as a teacher. I hope to be able to pass on my new knowledge of computers on to my students. I am hoping that there are at least a few computers in my classroom or that we are able to get access to a computer lab. I hope to be able to teach them how to use the technology to their benefit and be able to use it in the future.
