What an interesting week. Our group had some conversation in the beginning of the week, but I was sick all week and unable to be as involved as I normally am. This is frustrating because I like to stay on top of everything and I haven't been able to do that this week. I ended up staying up half the night Friday and Saturday to complete my projects.
The videos and the readings were quite interesting and it gave me an opportunity to learn even more about technology and various options that are available to teachers and students.
I really enjoyed the Book Builder project because it gave me a chance to express my creativity. I probably could have taken less time and still come up with a good project, but I guess I got into it. It was a pain, however, to remember to cite the sources on each image or sound clip that I borrowed, even when they were supposedly from free-share websites.
I wasn't really into the UDL (Universal Design Lesson), however, because it seemed like a long process of putting on paper what I do in my head after teaching so long. I understand the purpose of the process, but it seems too lengthy to do every week, especially if you have several preps.
Our group has not finalized their project at this point, probably because of the amount of work involved in the UDL and the Book Builder. Hopefully we will attain that goal by midnight.
