October 23-29

This week I was able to complete my poster project in Microsoft Publisher. It took me some time but I finally got it the way I like it (it will be attatched at the end of the post). Also I am getting ready to finish my Digital Story Telling project that is made by the Photo Story 3 program. I've used Photo Story before so the program itself and the technology are not new. Photo Story is a great way to make a quick video using still shots and other pictures. Look for it to be posted sometime next week. I hope it turns out great! Also, I really enjoy the freedom of not having a set "class". I feel that this will really help me in the future as an educator because you have the responsibiltiy of doing things on your time. I feel that this is a great chance for me to improve those skills.

This week in lab we worked with the program Microsoft Publisher. We will use this program to complete our group project. I wasn't aware of all the different things you can do with Publisher. I have worked a little bit with Publisher in the past but not very much. This was a refresher in some ways and in other ways it opened my eyes to new projects that I can do with this program. The best part is that not only do you get to express yourself anyway that you want, but it is very simple! I was shocked of how easy it was that I could throw in some information and then have it turn out to look so professional. I feel that this program will definately be of use to me in the future. I can make business cards, posters, booklets, and so much more. I look foward to using this later on in my classroom and my overall career.
