Final Week

It's finally the last week of classes, and these next few days are going to be chaotic! I'm extremely happy to say that my ePortfolio is finished (for the time being). It is going to be a constant process of adding more information and revising what I've already put on the site. I really enjoyed making the ePortfolio, just like I enjoyed making the website. You can guess my only complaint with the process, and yes it was losing my entire finished product! However, I'm happy that I chose weebly to use. It was very easy to navigate and recreate my portfolio.

The main thing I will take away from the ICT course is how easy and effective it is to use technology in the classroom. I thought creating videos and adding audio was a complex process that would be too difficult for me to do using my laptop. Wow, was I ever wrong! I can't wait to experiment with the various technologies and see how I can use them in the classroom. One aspect I'm very excited to try in the classroom is videos. I loved the idea of videoing students at the beginning of a unit and at the end to show their progression. It's a great tool to engage kids and keep them excited for class. It also shows how much they can improve in a short time, building their self-confidence.

I can't express how excited I am for the Christmas holiday! It will be a much needed break and I plan on enjoying it to the fullest!!
