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!
