This is a monumentous day for me! I can't believe I am on a computer, with internet and actually blogging! I don't have a computer with internet at home nor did I know how to do half of this stuff before I enrolled in this class. I know shocking, someone to not have internet at home in the year 2010! I am way out of the loop you could say. That being said these first assignments have really taught me a lot.
The pageflakes was a whole new world for me! I had no idea that a site of the sort even existed. It ended up taking me two hours to complete, a few calls to some friends and watching all the instructional Youtube videos but I did it! Most importantly, I learned how to embedd a Youtube video to a pageflake site. I really was surprised yet happy with myself when I was finished! I truly felt accomplished the whole rest of the day.
The word assignment really taught me a lot. All children now a days are raised using word to write papers and make fliers but this actually challenged me. The most troubling part was coming up with an idea and not using a templete because that is how one is taught previously. Not to mention I am a perfectionst when it comes to artisitic things so I think I probably started over ten times. I even switched my idea of what I was going to do more than once. At one point I got so fustrated with myself I deleted it and starting over. I started over so many times that I came back to it the next day! Yeah a little much I know but I still loved my end product. I also learned how to make columns and tables for the newsletter. I might even use it in my classroom in like oh say three years from now.
Well thats all for now until the next assignment.
