CEDO 555 Week 5

It's week 5 and another class is nearing the end of the line with me scrambling to try to get caught up from a busy stretch. I finally got my culminating experience proposal written up and off to the Instructors and am now awaiting a response. My proposal consisted of creating screencasts that would link to my Ning and thus allow my instruction to continue on even on days where I am unable to be in the classroom. It was for this reason that I chose to take a Master's in Instructional Technology so I feel it only fitting that this be my culminating experience. Upon entering this program I was quite aware that technology could be of assistance to me in helping me be more prepared and more efficient with my instruction but I didn't have enough experience to figure out just how that would be. This program has given me plenty of insight on different ideas for doing that and this screencast is just one major example of that.

As for my portfolio it coming along slowly but surely. I did in fact have dump the aesthetic appeal of applying pictures and various layout formats as I eluded to in my previous blog, however, I still tried to make it as functional and pretty as I could given my time constraints. I did learn a thing or two about setting things up and linking stuff together but again with the time constraints didn't have enough time to go back and change everything as I didn't figure this out until most of it was already posted. Again as I eluded to in a previous post, I will be going back and making this into a personal portfolio that I can link to my Ning and I can't wait to create a site of my own to represent me as an instructor.
