Course Reflection

As I reflect on this course, Technology to Enhance Literacy, I can say I really have good thoughts.  This course allowed the MET students to apply some of the tools we have been learning about in previous courses.  With only three classes left, it is all starting to come together.

We created our own digital story as one assignment.  The digital story did take us a few weeks to complete, but we got to see how it would be for students in our classroom to do the same.  It was time consuming, but well worth it.  I can't wait to see how creative students will be in their writing with a digital story.

The infographic was fun to create.  Many students are visual learners.  It will be exciting to watch how they create something visually themselves.

During this course, we were able to have discussions through our blog again.  I always like seeing what my classmates have to share.  I have gained some new tools and ways to enhance literacy through these discussions. I look forward to what I will take away from the next three courses.

Infographic Project

For my MET class, I was required to create an Infographic using the tool of my choice.  I chose to use Glogster EDU.  Check out my Infographic Project on Genres.  I will use this Infographic when introducing my students to what a genre is, genre names, and how students need to read equal amounts of fiction and nonfiction.  I enjoyed creating this Infographic and hope to create more for my students this year.
