Refletions on assignments

Reflection on Concept Mapping:

          Concept Mapping was a very interesting tool to learn about. I have made several concept maps in the past but I have never created one on the computer. It was very interesting to actually create one on the computer. I liked being able to set up links to each different sections of it. When making one by hand, you cannot do that. It was interesting to learn about that and I enjoyed getting creative with it.

Reflection on using web tools: Rubrics, Online Quiz, Worksheet, and Puzzle

I love the only rubric maker. It was very helpful and I loved how if basically set the rubric up for you. It really made it much easier. The online quiz maker was very interesting as well. I like that it helps incorporate technology into the classroom. I have never made my own puzzle before so it was interesting to get to do that. I think that would be a fun feature to show to my class.

Reflection on Classroom website:

          The class website is a great idea. It is a great way to keep the parents involved and also and eco-friendly way rather than sending out a newsletter, you can just tell the parents to check the website. It would also be fun for the students to help keep it updated.

Reflection on Assistive Technology:

          I learned a lot from the assistive technology assignment. I had no idea about half of the things on it. It really was great for me to learn about that for my future classroom because you never know what type of student you will encounter.

Reflection on Video Assignment:

          The video blogging assignment was very interesting. I really enjoyed playing around with my pictures. I have always wanted to do something like that but have never set down to actually do it. I think it will be a fun activity to include in my classroom for my students to do.
