As a future teacher, I now obtain the skills to create a school webpage, create flyers and brochures, create a digital story and be able to create a site that can be posted on the internet for others to view. Because I have worked alone and with others, I can help my other future colleagues learn the same skills I possess. For instance, I worked on my imaginary elementary school website by myself. I enjoy working alone because I didn’t have to make accommodations with others or compromise when a decision could not be made. I was able to be independent and make my own choices. Yet, when I was struggling with a project that I was working alone on, I could rely on my class mates to help me. For the majority of my projects, I worked alone except for one. The project I worked with a partner was Webquest. Although I preferred to work alone, working with a partner has its advantages too. More ideas are created for a project and the work load can be cut in half. Working together allowed us to get more done because we were able to work on more than one item at a time and we were able to share ideas and comments. As a result, we created a really fun and educational Webquest about the digestive system for kids! Generally, I would conclude that I like to work alone; however, I love having someone to share ideas with and to provide constructive criticism. I believe having an outside look on something is very useful.
Overall, I am proud of myself with the accomplishments I have made as well as the projects I have created. The valuable skills I have obtained throughout this course will be carried with me in my future career as a teacher. I now enjoy working with computers and I am very grateful with the technology skills I have gained through this course.
