555 Number 3

Well, I am slowly moving my way away from the portfolio to the culminating project. This is proving to be a very difficult task for me. Also, I can say that I am currently behind because of it. Instead of working on my culminating experience I have been putting all of my hard working efforts into the portfolio. For some reason I could not begin the end project until the portfolio was finished. To me it just seemed like the order that it should be done in.

I can say that the portfolio experience has allowed me to go back and reflect on all of the things that I have learned at the same time has required me to revisit my past assignments. While reviewing all of my hard work I can actually appreciate all that I have learned. This course of classes has gone by so quickly and it really caused me to lose sight of all that I was learning. Now, I am in a position where I can slow down (kinda) and just reflect.

Well, this week has been exhausting. I have been playing "catch up" at work with my lesson plans and grading. I have also been playing "get ahead" with my Master's degree. Slowly, I have been uploading artifacts and writing rationales. This is proving to be a lot more time consuming than I could have imagined. With that said I must say that Google Docs has definitely made this job a lot easier. Google Docs has turned out to be a wonderful filing system that has housed all of my portfolio documents that I would need.

As of right now I cannot comfortably reflect on the work that I have accomplished. I am still feeling a bit overwhelmed and buried at this point. My mind is focused on an end result. Once I reach that point I will be able to begin a reflection at that point. Until then I will keep pluggin away at this keyboard! :))
