Week 8 Blog

I wasn't able to attend this last class because I had the flu. Fortunately, I was filled in about some things that were done in class.  For example, Chelsea said they had alot of fun learning how to do voiceovers with Movie Maker.  That would be fun to do.  But I think that I can get the hang of it.  I have already started and am just about finished with my ePortfolio.  I now have to work on the Media Project.  I think that this is going to be time consuming but at the same time allow you to be creative and probably fun.  The problem that I find with editing is that when you start editing, you just can't stop.  There is always SOMETHING that needs to be changed in order for it to flow perfectly.  So, I am happy with my topic and I'm going to do the best with it.  I am looking forward to tomorrows class on DreamWeaver.

Week 7 Blog

This week was very interesting.  Today we had an online meeting on Google Plus.  On my end, I really like Google plus much more than the other online meeting venue that we used but unfortunately it didn't work for some people.  I wonder why that was happening because I was looking forward to hearing about their IT organizations.  Anyhow, it was really interesting to learn about the organizations online.  I thought George's IT organization of cue.org is really something that I would want to join as well. 
I have to say that I am over the moon with all of these organizations and how flourishing the field of elearning in educational technology is.  There are tons of sessions to join and programs to learn about.  I cannot wait to delve into elearning and see if that really is what I want to do.

Week 6

Wow, there was so much to learn this last class.  We learned about so many different theories like Gagne, Constructivist, our Situated Learning Theory.  It was really interesting to learn these the way that they were presented.  It really made an impact on the way that I could understand them.  It was much more creative that just reading them from the book but they were in action.  Additionally, going to have to get a start on my web pages and idea for my video.  I'm not sure what I should do but I have a few choices.  Looking forward to the online class next week.  I hope that the google plus goes well. I'm sure it will.

Week 5

This was a great week yet again.  I am still enjoying this program and have actually found a new love in technology.  The more I learn, the more I like it.  Sure its frustrating in the beginning but I don't think that anything worthwhile comes easy.  At any rate, I learned alot about WordPress. In contrast to Google, I find it much easier to use, with more templates and overall something that I would use in the future.  We also had the chance to get into our groups today.  Monday's class should be interesting with all the presentations. I am looking forward to it.
