Week 2 Story

I must say that the reading this week has given me new insight to the way that I create my presentations. It has also required me to evaluate the ones that I have already created. I have found that my presentations, that I thought were not too bad, actually are. They are too long and more importantly give the students no emotion while viewing them. I am already educated enough to know that teaching has to be relevant and has to connect to real life examples in order for it to be meaningful for the students. I have never stopped to think that it has to be emotional as well. It might be easy to forget that President Kennedy is dead but one will never forget how they felt when getting the news. Learning can be temporary but emotions will last a lifetime.

Week 1 Story

Well, I have not a an opportunity to strongly attack the week's homework. Actually I've only done the picture project. I have to say that I am excited to see the end results of this project and even more excited to hear Louie's purpose of this project!!!!! :) So far I think that this might be the most exciting class for me. It is right up my alley as far as creativity and uniqueness. I also think that it is a great break from the boring technical components that we have recently covered. Anxious to learn much more in the next weeks.
