I am writing this blog around 4:15 a.m. About one hour ago, I completed the assignment
for Module 10. I created a wiki using
Wikispaces. To create the wiki was easy,
but researching emergent technologies for pages one and two was a very
difficult task. Even though, my
assignment is a day late, I still can’t submit it because I don’t know how to
locate the URL for my wiki. Hopefully, I
will be able to submit it today. Before
this assignment, I made a graphic organizer with Kidspiration and spreadsheet/database
with Google Docs Spreadsheets, collected data with Google spreadsheets, and
created interactive media with MS PowerPoint.
. Last week, however, I made a
movie about the moon with MS Live Movie Maker. I was so pleased with the end product that I showed it to my
children. After my youngest daughter saw
it, she said, “It’s good!” I thought so
myself.

Oh Well!
Thus far, EDCI 505:
Introduction to Principles of Instructional Technology has been very overwhelming
for me. Before I took this course, I only
used my computer for email, word processing, and online purchases. Oh, what fun! For the first time in my life, I have used my
computer to create a personal learning environment with Symbaloo EDU, an
interactive poster with Glogster EDU, a blog and twitter account. Oh, what misery! As a Web 2.0 tool novice, I spent almost 18 hours
to develop a “web mix” with Symbaloo and a poster with Glogster EDU. Nevertheless, I think these technologies are
a great way for teachers to visually organize and share the web with students,
but it could be a rather time consuming ordeal for a beginner like myself. As you can see, I was successful in creating
my own blog account with posts. After
publishing this post, I will proceed with the Twitter assignment. It’s a shame I don’t personally know someone
who blogs and tweets so I won’t have to spend the rest of the night figuring
out Twitter. Oh well, here goes!
