Summary

I gained knowledge and several skills over the course of the semester. I was able to solve several problems along the way with the help of the information that Professor Proctor provided in his informational articles, hyperdocs, videos, etc. or through his tips/advice. I struggled with inserting a creative commons license on one assignment and how to cite images correctly. The did not fully understand by reading the hyperdocs, therefore I stayed after class to receive extra help. The skills I mentioned above can be used in all subject areas. The skill I have used the most so far is inserting links within text. I can apply this to every lesson and subject area that I teach. Organizing and visualizing data on excel will allow me to compare grades and scores of students. I still have to follow step-by-step for this task, but I know it will get easier the more I use it. I contributed to group projects by acting as a student in my peers online classrooms. This helped them figure out how to assign and grade work on their Seesaw account. I also worked with a peer on creating a fake instagram account. This was interesting because we both came up with different ideas and were able to help each other out when we did not know how to utilize the tools on the platform we were using. I also felt that it was beneficial to work together and figure things out. In my opinion, I was able to retain the steps and information better this way. During the process, I learned that I am capable of using technology and accomplishing my goals. Coming into this class, I was not confident in my ability to use technology and create interactive lessons. I did not even know that there were standards for technology. I am proud of myself and shocked that I have come this far in just a couple of months.
