Reflection 3

1. Reflect on your experience developing your multimedia  project in Assignment 6. What new did you learn during this activity?

                   The multimedia assignment was pretty fun. I chose a topic that I can actually use in the future when I teach my science courses. I have had a lot of experience through school with Power Point and I enjoy it. I would rather do a PowerPoint then write a paper any day. I am so happy that I got the experience I did when I was younger with technology because it has made College much easier on my. The new thing that I learned with this project is hyperlinking. I did not know how to do that completely. I also learned that on sound clips you can change the image of the speaker to anything you want too...I changed mine to a picture that I took of a bird.

      2.Talk briefly about how you would integrate multimedia into a lesson plan? 
         Share an activity or project (involving multimedia) that you think will engage and challenge  students.

I would use some multimedia videos as instructional tools. I could also have students create their own multimedia videos and "teach" the class what they learned. I good example of this kind of project is having the students choose some sort of living thing: animal, plant, bacteria, etc. and have them create a PowerPoint with certain information on their organism. Have a criteria list for the students to follow that they will be graded on, I would also make sure to tell them that creativity pays of..and that they would get points for creativity within the Power Point.

Have a Spooktacular Halloween!

Reflection 2

I hope that everyone is having a great week, TGIF!

Assignment 4 was very time consuming but informative. I like that I now know how to do those things on Excel. The videos that we were suppose to watch were VERY helpful, I had no idea how easy it was to insert formulas. I have usually just used Excel for charts and tables for information, I have never really used them with formulas. I had fun doing this assignment.

All  of my student names are people in my family, which I though was fun. I also think that it is important for everyone to know the basics, that is why I am so happy that you gave us the links for the videos. They helped so much, I sent the links to my mother because the is NOT computer savvy and those were slow enough that I think she will be able to keep up.

There are many ways to integrate technology in the classroom. Some activities that you can do to use technology are typing using MS Word, making charts using MS Excel, and and MS Power Point is extremely useful. Each of these things are fun to use with the class. Power Point is good because you can use it as a teaching tool and you can also get the students to make Power Points to present to the class to make it more interesting.
