My Final Reflection

This class has been one of my favorite classes so far. I really enjoyed being able to come in everyday and work on the computers. I feel that I am a much more hands on learner and that's all about what this class has been. I don't have just one favorite project that we worked on because I enjoyed most of them. The iMovie was very cool. I have created movies like this is the past for different occasions so I felt somewhat confident creating this. The only thing that was different was the program that I used to make it. Another project that was new to me and that I loved was creating the website. I can definitely see myself using this when I have my own classroom. This is a great way to introduce myself to my parents and students while also getting the parents involved. I have learned so much in this class and feel much more confident in my technology skills.

iMovie

This was my first time using iMovie. It was kind of confusing and frustrating at times but I think it turned out well. Over the summer I created the same type of movie for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. I used Windows Movie Maker so it was a little different from iMovie. One thing that was frustrating for my with iMovie was not being able to see the whole picture sometimes. Some of my original pictures were also really blurry so I had to replace them. All in all I enjoyed this project and could see myself creating movies for classes that I teach.

Inspiration...

This Inspiration project was very stressful for me. I started off feeling like I knew what I was doing. As I started working I got so confused about the actual purpose of the web in a preschool classroom. Another thing that frustrated me was not being able to work on it outside of class. Since the program is only on these computers I couldn't look over it outside of class. In the end I can see how this would be an effective tool in the classroom but creating it was frustrating.
