My Final Post!!!


I really enjoyed EDM310 and the people in the class. I truly learned some things that I never would think to approach as I said in my video post. I wouldn't change anything in class, however, I would change all of the assignments being a handful. It seemed as if we were juggling 2 and 3 at the same time and I was kind of confused. On the other hand though, I learned how to maneuver through them all. I might have did some things wrong but I fixed them in the end. I didn't learn anything that I didn't want to learn. I will not try to erase anything out of my head because even if I don't use them, I can surely at least tell someone how to use it. This class truly excited me in every way possible. I learn how to do things that I have been yearning to do. I feel that I have more to give to people than just my conversation face to face, letters to home, emails, or fax. I now have discovered new ways of communication amongst me and my friends and family. Not even just my loved ones but the entire world can have a different way of communication towards through podcasting and skype. I can say that I'm giving the world an advantage to come into my life and also go into the world as well.
I found a lot of things that were challenging but I feel that we were suppose to be challenged if we have never experienced this before. In an intellectual standpoint, I had no clue of these sorts of things that were going on in the class so that is why it challenged me intellectually. I did not have a bored moment in this class because it kept my undivided attention and plus I was willing to learn.
In conclusion, I wouldn't change too much in the class. I would probably add some fun projects such as mimicking a podcast your preference. I would include making a blog for your first class. Basically I would like to see more creative activities to surface instead of telling you what we think about podcast all the time. In my opinion, I have become literate towards technology to an extent of medium. I know enough to get me by in the long run but I can stand to learn some more. All in all, I will continue to improve because I like to be different any way possible and I will continue to play with these gadgets because now I have a Mac and I'm excited to use it more in different ways

Project 10

LISTEN HERE. Project 10 Me, Mr. Rabb, and Mr. Patterson Is facebook useful or not useful for teachers??

Project 11


Project 11 was a very good topic that I learned about. I already knew what youtube was about but I had an idea what teachertube was about but not fully. I'm so happy that I can to a place where I can get creative ideas or even share mine. I learned that teachers all around the world can connect with each other and I'm so greatful for that. I will be signing up for the website and hopefully other educators will do as well. I worked on this project with Ms. Washington, Mr. Patterson, and Mr. Rabb and I truly enjoyed our ups and downs on this project but in the end we pulled through. Thank you guys for the help and I had fun
I truly was motivated by my classmate Keysha Boltz to do this activity and I thought I couldn't but was excited when I published this. I am truly sorry for my hair but I had to say good bye to my professor and classmates. I hope I see you all sometime in the future.
