How will I use this technology in my "local" vision?
-Start a family blog
-Use these new applications (Dropbox, blogger, Google apps, iTunes U., Slideshare, Evernote, Twitter account)
-Share and collaborate with my staff
-Create time for them to innovate and use technology
Reflection:
Unfortunately, this class in only a week. There is so much to learn and I feel that I have only begun to understand all the resources that are available. For each of the programs, tools, and apps. we have learned, I could spend at least a week playing with it and trying to figure out how to implement it into my practice. Take for example the work with did today with iMovie. I barely understand the program after about an hour playing with it. Imagine what I could do if I really spent time learning how to use it.
"Vision trumps all senses." If we really want someone to remember something, we need to create visual media displaying our message. I like the idea presenting information in the form of a video. The task seems daunting because of the time it would take to make a quality video, but I know for sure that the more I use iMovie, the more proficient I would get at using it.
For my final project presentation, I incorporated the ideas about presentations that we learned yesterday...simple, visual, and clear. I am eager to hear and gather feedback from my colleagues about my presentation. In keeping with the spirit of learning new technology, I created my presentation using a web based program that I have never used before. The presentation program is called Prezi. I feel I am adept at using Powerpoint, but this program is fairly easy to use and much more interactive/entertaining.
My presentation took me about twice as long to create in Prezi than it would have in Powerpoint, but I am sure the next time I use this program, it will not take long at all. As I may have stated before, I often learn more from my mistakes than doing things right the first time. Using Prezi, I made a lot of mistakes, but in the process I feel I really learned how to navigate the program. Learning for me needs to be hands on and I appreciated getting the opportunity to play in iMovie today as well as learning about Prezi while doing my presentation.
I look forward to hearing about everyone's presentation tomorrow. Thank you again for reading my blog.
