Module 3 Relfection

Hmmmmmmmmmm what to say..... In the process of finishing up module 3 and I am not really happy with it. I like what I have been doing on my dreamweaver website and really look how that is. I like the tutorials that are being done because I am learning some pretty cool things. I am not excited about the activities though. I don't understand really how to do them. Both books don't really explain them and there is no final product so it is fun to work with. So I learned that I really need to look at the material I am teaching and making sure students are understanding it and being able to complete it. This is important because I am there for the students and not myself. So I need to examine the material that I am providing and see if it fits well. If I am doing a selling project I need to make sure I am showing what a sample final project should look like. I give myself a 9. I really felt that I put a lot of effort into this module I am just getting stopped by a couple of the activities.

Module 2 Reflection

Another module down and frustration to follow. I really found it frustrating during the activity there wasn't really any final images so you did not know if you were doing it right. I did learn some new things that were nice mainly to do with the anchors in the dream weaver program. I felt that a couple of the activities for the module did not benefit me. I felt that I just did them and didn't really take much from them. I did learn though how to use the dream weaver and in design program more. It is important that I learned this because I am getting more diverse in the information I know. I guess I am also getting more comfortable using in-design as well. This is good because maybe where I am teaching will use that as a program instead of what I am used to using. I knew before how to use layers but I will continue to use them. I like using them when making an ad or a picture. It makes the picture look more appealing. I will also use anchors in the dream weaver program. I really learned to like them and think they are great to have for a website. I am doing probably around a 6 or 7 for learning. I am frustrated which makes me want to use a little less effort which is affecting my performance. I need to just get over the frustration and move on to making a better student of myself.
