The semester is winding down, and where the hell am I now?While I certainly am not in love with the computer, my hostility towards it has slightly waned. Some of our assignments have been pretty fun; glogging, movie making, and writing this blog stand out. I've even found the social interactive-ness of the work pleasant, to my tremendous surprize (nothing personal, I just don't usually like classroom group work).
Some of the stuff we've used I can see integrating into teaching, though some of it was a drag. The wiki page and delicious were bummers for me. The former allows anyone to edit our class page without even signing in, I feared erasing everyone's work, and had trouble getting my links into the proper place, which I'm sure would get easier with more practise. Delicious also gave me trouble, which I'm sure might work itself out with more practise, and I liked its archiving and collecting features.
I learned a lot from seeing the assignments people designed (backward or forward), finding them creative and engaging, and some quite advanced and thought provoking.
Two more weeks!!
