My autobiography is about the people I have met in school
The Questions that must be answered for class:
1) How much effort did you exert on this task?
2) What is the value in completing this course task?
3) How does completing this course task impact your future teaching?
1) At first this task seemed easy enough. All you do is go to a website that describes how to do everything and then do it. Well my thinking was incorrect. For seven pictures it took me over 2 hours to add all the widgets, click tabs, and edited photos. When I was all done with my project, I clicked save and the screen kept saying "unable to save project", or something along those lines. This was really frustrating because I feared I had lost my work. Because of this I had to close out of the program and reopen it under a different tab. Even though some of my work was lost, luckily I was saving the project the entire time, so I was quickly able to bring it back to its previous level of doneness. That is one part of computers that always scares me, that something you work so hard on can be lost so quickly. This task has really opened my mind to the world of computer technology, and I have gained a lot more respect for the so called "computer brainiacs" and their ability to create beautiful masterpieces on the computer. I hope that through this class, I will be able to properly implement the use of technology into my teaching repertoire.
2) This task was a good way to start our electronic adventures. It helped us learn about several different types of electronic media all in one course task. It is also a good way for the class to get to know each other. For most of the students in this class, we have probably just entered the education program and we will have the rest of our school career with each other. This is a good way of getting to know who we will be going through the program with. This task is also a good way of learning our abilities to use computer and internet programs. We can see areas we need to improve as well as areas we may excel in. This project really helped me to evaluate myself and my abilities.
3) This task impacts our future teaching by showing us different ways to make presentations for our classroom. Also, like I mentioned before, it is introducing us to all the different types of technologies that are out there. Whether it be a blog or a way to present information to our class, our society is moving towards a technology run society. If we, as teachers, are not able to help our students keep up with the constantly changing technology, than we will not be able to help them to be properly prepared for their future. This is our responsibility to inform and prepare them, therefore we must be informed and prepared to teach them. This project is a perfect starting point.
