Everything was valuable for me from this class. Although, blogs were a bit too much for me, but that is just because I did not like having to reply to two people's posts. It makes sense that we must do that and in fact I hope to use this with my students but for me it was too much as the semester progressed.
I will definitely find ways to implement everything I learned in this class. Whether it is for me personally, or for my students, I will implement it all. Some of my favorites were filamentality (which I have already used twice), inspiration, PowerPoint (especially jeopardy), the video, newsletter and the assessing we did at the beginning of the semester and at the end. I am able to clearly see how much I grew in technology and how to implement it in my future classroom.
What I would improve for the class would be working on the digital portfolio a bit more in class. I would have liked a bit more guidance as we received with other tasks. Even if we created an example as a class. I enjoyed the semester in this class and will take all I learned with me, especially to keep updated with technology because I want to be able to keep up with my students and implement variety in my classroom.

Blog 14: Filming Process and Video Making
When we first began the project on making a video I was confused! I knew the basics but because I am a hands on learner I had to go out and try it. I was happy our Professor gave us time in class to work on this project. Because she was there to help in the process, I was able to, with my group, complete the project and enjoy it.
My main concern during this project was copying the video onto a CD and submitting it through e-mail. The recording process was fine, we knew we weren't great actors and our focus was not on that but rather learning how to use i-movie. Tasks were divided equally and due to cooperation the project was a highlight of this class.
I would love to use i-movie and the making of video for my students. It teaches them an alternate way to explore a topic, how to work with technology, cooperation, and responsibility. Our strength was responsibility. We assigned different group members small, outside tasks, such as finding songs we would use in our film, researching information on the topic etc. Everyone had their materials on time and that is what allowed everything to run smoothly in my group.
