Lesson 6 reflections

There wasn't any group work with this lesson but I found the whole creation of the unit proposal challenging. I love creating web pages so that part was loads of fun. However, trying to ensure that I included everything needed as far as ONLE was difficult. All I can say is I did the best I could.

Lesson 6 Reflections

This lesson has been completed focused on my unit developement which has not given much opportunity to interact with my team. However, with that said I have had time to reflect on this past several weeks of previous group interactions and assignments and have positively concluded that I have learned many valuable lessons with particpating with my group.

As the course begins to wrap up, I find myself content with the information.knowledge I have gained through this course. All avenues including discussion boards, assignments, group activities, and interactive exercises has buildt upon prior knowledge and gave me MUCH more additional support within all areas of my educational, professional, and personal goals.

Infoviz Thoughts #ETC647L6D

Infoviz provides a greater opportuntiy to reach many more learners than every before. As stated in previous postings, to create material to use learners must have a firm grasp on the material to utilze infoviz to its fullest potential. Visual learning aspects has been a vital aspect with teaching and now it is used to provide an innovative uses outside of the traditional norms.

#ETC647L6D

The postings for #ETC647L6D have certainly been a different experience. I feel like I am certainly not using all of the resources that are available within my personal learning environment to their full potential when I see all the great ideas and postings from my classmates. It certainly seems like each of the tools here can be incredibly useful and also help to sort through the vast amount of information available. In particular I have really been impressed with delicious as a way to organize and sort articles and web pages instead of simply adding bookmarks to my favorites list that is already a mile long. I am glad that I have been able to become more comfortable with the technology that is available and will be even happier when my unit plan is 100% finished!

Lesson 5 Reflection

Again I am reminded how well some groups can work together. Our team came together and completed all tasks. Even when I had some issues and did not stay in contact as much as usual, we all worked together to complete everything that was needed in the end. We offered suggestions to each other and reminded each other about assignments that needed to be completed. I do not stress now when I see we have a group assignment. I know that I am not on my own and that we will pull together and all do our best.

Lesson 5

Lesson five was interesting with the presentations being the major occurence during this lesson. I was pleased with our result since we were able to present without any technology glitches. The presentation that I attended provided many useful websites which could be used for my own children as well as in a classroom. The discussion questions provided a great review of the three types of learning activities and also the strategies that I can use in my Unit. I will certainly be referring to these three pages when I am building my unit so that I can be sure to include many different strategies within the unit. As in every other lesson working with my team has been a breeze even when all three of us have overlooked something and are working together on it at the last minute :)

Lesson 5 Reflection

Lesson Five was very engaging for me. We were able to present a successful Network Training Session through Elluminate and we moderated WetPaint and Diigo discussions. I feel fairly content with how things have gone as a group.

The Network Training Session worked out pretty well. I was concerned that I might not have been able to present due to breathing/coughing issues stemming from my pneumonia. However, when the day of the presentation came around, I was able to particpate with my assigned powerpoint slides. The presentation was solid and the surveys received provided positive feedback to the group.

On a negative aspect, during this second week of moderating, I have had issues with Diigo this week. I am not sure where the issue is stemming from. I have completed software updates however I am still having issues. I feel this has provided some issues with my ability to perform Diigo moderations successfully. Frustrating!!

With viewing other group presentations and reading others activities through WetPaint, I have been able to build upon my own knowledge base and experiences with different perspectives and innovative ideas gained from fellow classmates.
