The End and I see My Reflection

Can you see "The Hidden Tiger"? One thing I have learned is as long as you keep an open mind and search you will find answers.
A well-deserved thank you to the graduate students for putting together the e book. It looks great, fantastic job. I was totally in awe. 

Wow! Our time together has come to an end, it seems as though we just started six weeks ago. Oh we did only just meet 6 weeks ago whew! It has been a great experience I wish we would have had more time to absorb the information but as one of my classmates said I am saving everything so I can refer back to this at my convenience. For me this will be necessary.

Things that surprised me, first I was surprised I could keep up. Being of undefined skill with technology I was pleased I was able to maintain and actually catch a few things. I was surprised at how much we were supposed to keep track of, but thanks to DR. Robin`s outline each week it was doable. Lastly I am surprised how much I was able to pick up and apply in the different venues and how this started creeping into my real life usable content.

I will not let fear of the unknown stop me from digging into new technology and seeking out and learning from what I can engage with. After this class I have learned with the right attitude there are tools that can make my life easier and time and patience is all you need. Do not forget a little research is helpful. After a little more practice and a bit more confidence I will incorporate the tools I felt worked for me to better enhance my class presentations and lectures. Screencast and Zing are number one in my book.

Everything does end but that may be when regret sets in. I will remember a script before you record is always the best practice to ensure a smooth and professional outcome. Honestly I have learned a lot in a very short period of time. Practice makes perfect and exploration expands. Thank You Dr. Robin.

One last parting thought whenever my students fill overwhelmed as I did during this class, is to remember this, How do you make a diamond? Take carbon and put it under a lot of pressure. By the way  Pinterest  is interesting, created a profile, created a board and found some selections of interest and going forward.

  1. I too, was really impressed with the ebook. I've enjoyed learning from you, and reading your posts. I will keep my blog up, (maybe not write as often) but I will keep it up, and occasionally post there. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
