Honest Reflection

My Honest Reflection.

1. I can honestly can say that I've learned how to use all the things we covered in class with the exception of a few. Twitter is hard for me to use because I am private, and I don't feel like tweeting about mundane things I am doing throughout the day. I really am proud of my blog, I really use Skype a lot with my son, Windows Moviemaker was really fun to use and I will use this in the future with my family photos and videos, Comments For Kids was enjoyable, and my daughter enjoyed this especially. I was blown away about Itunes U and how it was incorporated in the universities, and didn't even know my son was using a form of this at Alabama. Youtube has been my savior when I don't know how to download a video or anything. I'm even using this as a single mom to fix things at my home. I installed my own dlp bulb in my huge tv with an instructional video from Youtube.

2. Because I am basically starting from scratch in this class, technology wise, there is nothing I wish I had learned and did not. Everything was new to me and useful.

3. I don't want to forget anything I have learned good or bad. Except maybe my Twitter account. Even though I was constantly feeling like a dummy and a lot of times Dr. Strange made me feel like a dummy, I want to remember everything I have learned.

4. Again, even though I complained a lot, I am excited that I know how to do a large number of things I would have never have learned if I didn't take this class. Even the smallest thing like posting a link, I didn't know how to do! I didn't go to school in an era that we used these things. I am excited when I show my kids my blog and how I made a movie. Or how I kept up with my blogging.

5. What I found challenging was the syllabus and trying to keep up with what I had to do. There is so much information and assignments everywhere! I need everything to be in one place.

6. Bored? Please.... Maybe bored of not knowing what I was doing.

7. Again I would change the way we have to go to a number of documents to figure out what we need to do. This could be organized better.

8. I would say I am at the Some-Medium level. Dr. Strange may not agree. But from where I started I'm great!

9. I want to learn more and will try to improve my skills in all the areas we covered. I am also excited to use some of the things when I teach. Maybe podcasting, or Skypeing my students etc. I will also get my son to teach me new things since he is technologically savvy.
