Wrapping Things Up

This has definitely been a hectic semester for me.  Between work, grad school, and the little one that I have on the way (on top of everything else), I have been busy, busy, busy!  I have to say that I have definitely learned a lot this semester.  I enjoyed getting to jump into web design.  I feel like I've had huge growth in this area. 

Before this class, I had never truly created a website before - not counting the dinky high school web design class I took (let alone thought about the importance of design, color scheme, and the use of media within the site).  I got the opportunity to learn how to use Google Sites and Wix.com.  While I found creating a website frustrating at times, I've learned that the more experience I have with those sites, the more comfortable that I feel.

I also enjoyed learning how to use Audacity.  Audacity is something that I had heard about before, but I had never really got the opportunity to try out.  I really benefitted from getting the time in class to explore Audacity.  Editing audio turned out to be a lot simplier than I thought it would be.

As I continue to move forward in my grad school program, I really feel that I am taking the steps to becoming a technology facilitator within my school.  My students are also really benefitting from all of the things that I am learning (I can't wait to complete my WebQuest that I created with my students in a few weeks.  Eventually, I hope to be able to share my new knowledge with my coworkers so we can all benefit the kids!
