Reflections

What were your favorite 2 assignments in this class and why?
My two favorite assignments were the wiki frontpage and the digital story. I have worked with wiki before with another class but had never done a home page. Basically, all we did was work as a group, similar to our group quiz question work. I actually didn't know you could do all the other things in wiki. I liked the digital story because I hadn't ever done one. Windows Moviemaker is one of those programs that came with the computer but I never had time to learn. My children thought my movie was pretty cool and I plan on showing them how to make one.

What are the top 3 technology tools you hope to use in your future classroom/position? (doesn't matter if they were addressed in this class; may include hardware or software)
I will be teaching Business Education. I plan on using the wikis, the digital movies and the concept maps. The wikis would be a useful tool for the students to use as well as having a class homepage where the parents would be able to see what is going on in the classroom. The digital movies and concept maps would depend on the business class being taught. It might be hard to incorporate in a keyboarding class.

What piece of technology would you like to get better at, and what are the steps you can take to improve your skills?
I would like to get better at making digital movies. I am not very creative so I probably will just need to spend extra time working on fine-tuning my moviemaking skills.
