Video Reflection

This assignment was definietly a head scratcher.  I decided to use Powtoons to create the video.  This program appeared to be very user friendly, but I was stuck on minor things such as timeline seconds.  After viewing a few tutorials, I was finally able to get it done.  I actually learned a lot during this process.  I learned how to create the video as well as how to create the You Tube channels.  I may end up being technology savvy by the end of this class.  I will definitely use Powtoons in the future.  Once I'm comfortable with the features, it will be a very useful recource for my classroom.

Blog Reflection

September 15, 2013

This has definitely been a great experience.  I've always wondered how people create these awesome blog sites.  I never knew it could be done free.  I am still playing around with it trying to figure out all of the components.  It seems to be pretty simple so far.  I hope that I can get better with this tool because I would definitely like to use it in the future, not just as a class assignment.  I would love to find out more about graphics, customized boarders, and all of the fun stuff.

I visited so pretty interesting blogs from some amazing teachers.  I really aspire to be just as creative with my own one day.  This tool is so powerful in the fact that its a great portal for sharing ideas and experiences with teaching and other things.

Welcome to my blog!  My main purpose of starting this blog initially was to complete a class assignment.  As I become more comfortable with it, I plan on using it for sharing ideas and experiences.  I'm very excited to get statrted!  I can't believe that I can officially call myself a blogger.  I love this!  I get happy over the little things!
