I can see the finish line!



We are winding down to the last week of class. Three of our main assignments have been a work in progress. I still have some work to complete before the course is over. I have been keeping up with my personal website. I have been updating it with class assignments weekly. I enjoyed making the website and designing and formatting it. I have great respect for web site creators and designers. I did not realize how much work you have to put into it. I have also been blogging as often as I can. I really liked keeping a blog. It is like keeping a diary. You can reflect on your writing. If you wrote something down you can go back and see what you wrote. After some time you might think differently. My ICP project is coming along. My topic is podcasting and how it enhances 21st century skills. It is a topic that we have touched upon in class previously. I have been working on my PowerPoint presentation. After watching other students present, I realized that my presentation has too many slides and that I will not be able to complete my presentation in the 12 minute time frame. I have to go back and cut down some slides to make it shorter. At first I was confused on how I would make this PowerPoint into MSMC lesson plan format. After watching the presentations I saw that they had a clear introduction, development, guided practice, closure, independent practice and evaluation. Talking about all this work that I need to complete is getting me stressed so I am going to go work on my finishing touches.
Talk to you soon.
