Tye Richardson Reflection on Glogster

Making a glog was fun. I liked adding images and text and being able to move it all around without having to find and pay for poster board and markers knowing it will be thrown out after the class presentation. This is much easier to do and you can be much more creative if you can upload your own images. Glogster is really slow at uploading though!!! The day we looked at everyone’s glogster was fun too but I have to say I didn’t really learn anything and in most of the posters I did not know what they were trying to show. I did see lots of terms that showed up on the test but it did not help with my studying.

I like the wikispace for class. It makes it much easier to get the class materials find out when work is due. Having the extra you tube clips for the material that we are reading on the wiki makes it much more interesting.

Aliza Miller The Erikson playlist was a really fun assignment. It took me a long time to go through my itunes and figure out which lyrics fit the stage. But it really made me think about what each songs is really trying to say. We spent a day in class sharing some songs and it was cool hearing what other students listen to – I also thought about some of the stages a little differently.

Kris D. I hate all the new technology. It never works when you need it to. The wiki is just another thing to look at everyday and I had a really hard time getting on to it. I had no idea you needed to be accepted as a member. I just want to do my class work in class and my homework on paper.

Kagan D I struggle with group work. I know that there are benefits with working with other students but teachers don't seem to understand how busy we are and how hard it is to schedule a time when we all can meet up to work. I am glad that you are adding google docs as a way to do group work. I have done it before with an essay in Mr. Dickerman's class and it worked well becuase if I want to work at midnight I can and I am not really holding everyone up. I'm not sure that a couple of the other in kids in my group know how to use it but they will catch on. It's easy to work with and you can split up the work.
