Here are some personal reflections on my experience in MD400 so far:
What I have found useful: learning new programs (i.e.
Inspiration,
Photoshop,
PhotoStory,
Wiki Sites,
Blogger) and their uses in the classroom. Also, it has been helpful to learn about the flexibility involved when using technology in the classroom as well as when creating projects using the new programs.
What I have found challenging: learning new programs! It's been tricky trying to remember different features available within the programs, as we have learned so many in such a short period of time.
What I have found frustrating: working on several projects at once. Although I do multitask when needed, I like to start and finish a project before moving on. Because of the time restraints of a summer course, we've needed to work on several projects simultaneously in order to finish them on time.
What I have found rewarding: finishing a project and feeling as though I could use these programs in my own classroom. It is a great feeling to publish a completed project to the website and blog a reflection on the process!
Hope for the remainder of the semester: to learn how to create a podcast and a nonlinear powerpoint!
