15) Final Post

I did my presentation tonight and I think it went very well.  I love Roman architecture and engineering and I'm glad I was able to share that with the class.

As for my final post, I would like to reflect on class a little.  I thought that this class was extremely easy.  I came into this course already extremely familiar and comfortable with most of the technologies we went over in class.  I think this class, at least for me, could have been done as an online course.  However, I do feel as though this class would be beneficial for others who are not familiar with these technologies.  I still would like to say that I had a blast being in class with Prof. Schaff and I am still glad I took this course.

14) First round of presentations -12/2

On Monday in class we watched the first group of students present their lessons.  I thought it was really fun.  To be honest, I was expecting to be bored the entire time, but all of the presenters did an excellent job involving the class in the lesson.  I also find iut very interesting to watch the teaching styles of other educators.  Just like our students, no teacher is the same either, and we can all learn valuable information and methods from one another.  All of the presenters did a good job covering the content, and I could tell they all seemed to put a lot of effort into their presentations.  Overall, I really enjoyed watching the presentations this week and I look forward to seeing others next week.  I just hope my presentation goes well next week too!

13) Thanksgiving break

Over Thanksgiving break I made my non-linear PowerPoint presentation for our final project for class.  I chose to make my presentation on the architecture and engineering of the Ancient Romans.  Hopefully the class will enjoy it when I present next Monday.  This is an actual presentation I plan to use with my students next week as well when we begin to cover the Ancient Romans.  More to come after the presentation!
