Module Reflection #8

 This was such a fun module for me. I loved working with the spreadsheets. I was so happy to be able to create my own grade book. It was a lot of fun for me. As a teacher I used spreadsheets but not with all of the formulas that we used. I was very happy to learn some formulas and see the things that could be done with a simple statement.

I absolutely loved the video activity! I created a video about myself which I will now keep and show during my back-to-school time. This is such a great way for people to create interesting, fun, and professional videos. I am going to work on a video for my daughter from her birth until now. I think that will be fun for our friends and family to see.

Module #7 Review

 Having a brother who is heard of hearing I was really looking forward to the closed captioning.WOW that was difficult! I always used to complain when my brother would be watching something and they would miss words or skip sentences. Now I understand why!

Overall this was a really fun module for me. I enjoyed the audio recording and I also really liked the screencasting! That is something I will use with my students. I love the thought of giving the students the opportunity to voice record their answers or screencast their projects.

Module Reflection #6

 Creating my lesson presentation was so much fun! Being a teacher I have tried to come up with ways to keep my students engaged and I love creating presentations. I feel like I could have continued to tweak and change and add but that's just the teacher in me :)

When I first saw the module I thought there was so much work however once I started working it was done before I knew it. I guess that's what happens when it's fun activities.

Twitter was enjoyable and although I have not succumbed to the world of Twitter it was fun being able to see everyone's posts.

Module Reflections #5

 The computational fluency activities were so much fun! I really enjoyed the "Sentence Frame" activity which was Computation Fluency #1. The hardest computational fluency activity for me was activity #3 although I do something similar in my classroom on the first day of school with regards to our classroom rules. I think the part that was most frustrating to me was the diagram portion of the words that I wrote.

I really have found these computational fluency activities fun and especially with the #2 *colors* I am going to use this in my classroom. I was thinking I could even change out color for another subject (favorite animal, food, etc)
