Reflections on MD 400 so far...

I have found the new programs I have been exposed to in this class to be very interesting and can't wait to use them in my classroom. Taking this course has been a refreshing change in the graduate program for me. Normally, we spend lots of time reading and discussing educational concepts. In this course it has been nice to learn something that is more hands on. I have gotten comfortable and accustomed to using computers for daily purposes and it has been interesting to be challenged by using new programs on it. I like experimenting with the different software to find out how to do certain tasks with it. Playing around with photos, fonts and colors is fun and the best way to learn the new programs we have been introduced to. Thus far I have enjoyed the course and have learned a lot. I'm a little overwhelmed by the idea of the visual essay but figure that I will find my way as we go along.
