My Reflection

I really enjoyed having this class as part of my Block I classes. I feel I knew a lot about technology and computers before I came to this course. However I found there was so much more to know! I had the opportunity to help my classmates with difficulties they had in creating this e-portfolio.

I think it is very important to use technology in the classroom. This generation is becoming more advanced with computers and it is important that new teachers learn almost everything there is to know! Technology can be used in every subject. I liked how Science and Technology was integrated with our Web-Quest Assignment. My group and I had the chance to create a Web-Quest based on our Unit Plan on Endangered Animals in Africa. I think if I was to teach our unit plan in a classroom it will be very helpful to show my students this web-quest. It is a very organized way to gather and present information.

Reflecting back on creating this e-portfolio I realized how much I learned about new programs. Nvu was the program I used to create this web page. After I created all my pages I used the program Ws_FTP to publish the portfolio on the internet. I didn't realize until now how much time it takes to create different links and to get everything working correctly.

I definitely had some struggles while creating my e-portfolio. One of the struggles i had was creating my Web-Quest. In our group we divided each page up to do individually. My pages were the Games and Literature pages. After I completed my pages, I had to go to my group member's websites and copy and paste the information they had on their individual pages to mine. This part was very frustrating for me because everytime I copied their information and pasted it into Nvu the format of the text changed.

My favorite project in this e-portfolio was creating my Digital Story. My friends mean the world to me so it was fun to create a cute slideshow of some memories we have shared these past few years at college.

I know this course will be very beneficial to me in the future when I become a teacher.
