This is the last day of class....and my last course for my Masters !! Been a fairly lengthy journey but I am glad I am finally at the end. This has been a fairly in depth course, covered a great deal of material, I would have like to have spent more time refining some of the processes, especially the WIKI. I enjoyed doing the Blog, it is something that I believe that I will use in the future.
Mr. Larouche, please forward my Final Grade to the following e-mail address:-
james.mcwilliams@sait.ca
Merci,
James.

Today was a bit frustaring but I did managed to complet > My Lesson Video Introduction / Lesson Plan Description / A Hot Potatoes Quiz... 2 Questions / The Video / and A Cultural link from YouTube.
There was great copperation from many of the people in the group. Unfortunately I do not use much of this technology in my daily work...which is unfortunate. I firmley believe that you need to be working on this technology constantly, I believe it is in the constant repitition that you become much more assertive with the processes. If this was a full semester class I believe I would have become much more proficient at navigating through the web sites.
Jean did an excellent job on introducing and demonstarting a vast array of technical instructional tools and web sites, he is extremely knowledgable and comfortable in this arena.
the last day is Friday, I would like tos pend a little time tidying up some of my blogger and Wiki...it will depend on how the day is laid out.

working onthe project....finding it challenging.
working between the MAC and PC is quite complicated.
I think you need to have a lot more time to work on these projects.

Today we finished the movie...the MAC Book I was using could not access the Internet.I could not import a background for our heading andor closing ofthe movie....problem withthw MAC Book....which was a bit frustrating.
the Smart Board technology has many advantages for teachers, I don't use the smartboard but I thought it was a great tool.
I can see the value in the clickers, although it can be limited tohow many student can use it. I can see how I could apply the clicker technology in the classes I teach. I beleive the Inetractive tool are very good method for engaging students, it Keep them focused on what is being covered in class.
Good day today.

Used the MAC Book today, we were to manke a movie with a partner. If found this a little challenging,I beleive if I had more time to work on this type of technology I would be come much more comfortable. I do not have the opportunity to use this technology in my classes...which is unfortunate. However, I can really see the potential that this technology can offer a learner. For the most part i enjoyed the process.
