Course+Reflections

===  ~EDLD Multimedia and Video Technology~  === ===  ===   I am moving from an elementary technology position to a middle school technology position, so I knew I would have to step up my game. I was hoping this course would help me turn up my skills a notch. I believe that it did.

I now have the knowledge and skills to facilitate a collaborative multimedia project that my students will enjoy. The steps we took each week will help me to set up procedures with the students that will ensure a successful outcome.

I achieved all expected outcomes. I successfully worked in a group, we solved technical problems as they arose, and we were able to successfully complete and publish a great finished project. I was a little nervous about working in groups totally online, but because of the weekly planning assignments and our communication forums, it all worked out.

I completed all the course assignments. It was sometimes hard to keep up with everything and remembering the criteria for each assignment, but the Todo list really helped out.

This course helped me to be a better leader. I tend to not enjoy group projects because everyone has a different idea of what makes up a good project. But these pass few weeks, I have gotten more out of being in a team than in any other time in my life. As a leader and a teacher, you have to understand that everyone has different levels of motivation, abilities, and opportunity. It your job to get the most out of what you got. I think everyone participated to the best of their level and opportunity, and we delivered a great project--It was a wonderful experience!
