EDLD 5363 Weeks 4/5 Reflection

This class has been informative in that I have been able to learn about many different resources that are available on the Internet. It's amazing to me the amount of information that is out there! 
The group project for this class involved making a video trailer to introduce a unit. We chose to make one for a 5th grade class that introduced force and motion. Our group worked well together and everybody did their part. We used Google Docs to show our collaboration which was great because we can't actually be together to do the work. I enjoyed working with my team and would definitely work with them again! 
I feel that what I've learned from this class has come from using the technology and trying things out. I believe that I will be able to use some of it in my own classroom and that is important to me. 

EDLD 5363 Web Conferences

I have attended all the scheduled web conferences. They have been helpful sometimes, but other times I have come away more confused. I like to have a little more direction with the assignments. I hope that the upcoming change in the way the web conferences are going to be held will be for the better. It will be nice to have a smaller group so that we can stay focused on our assignment and our questions. I believe the web conferences can be very beneficial; they are the main link with the professor. 

EDLD 5363 Week 3 Reflection

This week we started our group project that will be completed in Week 5. It was nice to be working on a group project again because I have the opportunity to work with some awesome individuals. We are supposed to create a 90 second video trailer that will introduce a unit. We chose to focus on 5th grade with force and motion. We have our shots planned and script written, but we're still undecided on the video program we're going to use. This coming week, we will be filming and working on the narration. It's definitely a bonus to have people on my team that are easy to work with and want to work hard! 

EDLD 5363 Week 2

This week has been challenging to say the least. The assignment itself was not that hard, but I found it a little frustrating to get all my information from tutorials on the Internet. I don't mind using tutorials for help, but I guess I expected a little more teaching. For some reason, I had a lot of trouble this week getting my video to upload to YouTube. Needless to say, I'm really glad this week is over! I'm looking forward to working with a team for the rest of this class.
