EDM 613 MAC Week 1 Reflection post ( AR and LIT Review and Full Sail)

Well, here I am at month 11!!! My literature review has passed and with some minor details can be published on the AR site. The AR site has a list of a few things that will need to be taken care of- I was a little disappointed in the few blog posts from my critical friends. But Overall , I was pleased with my research and how it evolved and made my classroom a great place!!

I have a learned a lot this year as a teacher and a student. I think about the different ways kids learn and how I can do the best job I can do to reach all students through media technology.

Although a very hard year on me mentally and physically ( working full time, 3 kids, sports, and then Full Sail) I feel pretty good about coming to a close. The professors at Full Sail were always challenging yet caring for me as a person. I liked the personal attention from Full Sail people. I really loved meeting new people and creating friendships across the nation.

EMD 613 MAC Week 1 WIMBA-Course Intro and AR Activities

The initial Wimba session was a plethora of information. Dr. Professor Joe was able to recap all of the information from the videos that students were to watch independently. I liked the specific information about the AR project- who would ever imagine that I would present this as a "scholarly" presentation? Or have it ready for publication? This was the scariest moment for me in realizing that I am almost finished so I have to "walk the walk and stop talking the talk". Blogging is a very cool way to present ideas and opinions. It is also a way to put yourself out there so there has to be some degree of confidence and readiness to face the world. I look forward to putting it all together and being one step closer to graduating!!!
Although I am familiar with most of our classmates, there were a few new faces in the WIMBA session. It's good to mix it up!!!
