I decided over the next week or so it takes me finish this assignment I would create a blog to go with it, chronicalling my feelings towards the assignment as a whole and the challenges I've encountered.
This project has been kind of a roller coaster. I'm pretty happy with what I've created so far though I have a ways to go. I would say the biggest challenge has been trying to become familiar with all the different media forms. I went through quite a few before settling on Weebly to create this site. So far it's been a pretty good experience though I doubt I will utilize this site to it's fullest. There are SO many useful tools out there! This really is a good assignment. In addition to a large amount of soul searching that was done in creating the content for this site, becoming familiar with the tools that are out there and available to use in a classroom is really invaluable. First I started using Prezi. I decided what I was trying to do would fit best in a site like Weebly which is why I ultimately chose it, but Prezi is awesome! It would be great and so fun to use for presentations. I had a great time looking through example Prezis that were posted and I highly recommend taken a stroll through their website and checking them out!
Well, it's about time for me to do a bit more exploration out here on the Wide World Web! I think I'll try and tackle Wordle :)
