Tool of Choice REFLECTION

WHAT?: This week in class we worked on "tool of choice" - this is going to be our final presentation in class. Our assignment is going to be making 2 of the following either: brochure, newsletter, or flyer for our classroom. We can use any tool to create these and then we must put them in PDF format and post them on our UEN "final projects" tab.

SO WHAT?: I really am so glad that we are learning how to publish something into PDF format, because until now I wasn't really sure how to do this. I think that this is going to be essential for me to learn as a teacher, student, or even a colleague because then I am able to turn in assignments/presentations this way.

I think that these three options to make are great learning experiences because not only are we getting practice on how to make them for our real classroom; we are also learning how to use the templates to make these different options. So far in creating this assignment I have had a lot of fun, and I have learned many new things that I know wil come in handy for my future classes and for my future class when I become a teacher.

NOW WHAT?: I think that this technology really is essential to my future, because as a teacher/colleague I will be able to make these different forms and use them in my classroom. I could also teach my students how to use the different templates and have them put together their own little works together. I think that assignments like this are fun because you get to be creative with them. However, they are not only fun they are very learning-filled.

I am really glad that this was our final. I think that by viewing my other classmate's works I can get many more ideas on activities for my classroom. I also love putting together assignments on where I can use so much creativity. I also think that it was a great final to really see how much I have learned in the classroom about the different tools we could use to create 2 of these 3 options. I cannot wait to see my final projects, and I also cannot wait to use these options in my classroom. I would really love to watch my future students do a project like this. I think that they would really enjoy it!
