The past few months have been pretty good in this course. I have learnt a ton of new this to take with me after this semester is done. I really liked how in this class there was communication between all of the students, usually it's just people sticking to their group of friends and only really talking to their friends. But in this class you got to be more adventurous and make connections with other kids your age. We are so focused on technology in this day and age, so having the opportunity to use the technology in a positive way was rather refreshing. Everyone got along, there was no cyber bullying at all it was great to see!
We have done so many different kind of assignments in this class, so when it come to picking between which assignment was my favourite will be a hard thing to do. I enjoyed almost every assignment we were given, each was challenging in their own way! But when it comes to the end of the this class I think the Buried Life/Bucket List project was the best. I got to see what was important to me in life, and I got to find out what my interests in the world are! The animoto video is what I picked to make in the end, I have showed to my family and friends I am proud of the video I created for this project. It was a lot of work to edit my photos, but in the end it was well worth the work.
I don't really think there was any assignment that I didn't enjoy, we have been pretty lucky with having a teacher who knows what her students like and what they are interested in. There was never a really dull assignment that we were given.
Every Friday we got to read for the class, I love to read so it was great to be able to just sit down and have solid reading time. I got through about 4 different books I think. Some I would even have to take home just because I couldn't help but read more.
When it comes to reading I don't like having to reflect on what I just read two days before. When I read I just like to be able to be immersed in the book and enjoy the journey it takes me on. So doing the reading reflections wasn't a thing on my blog enjoyed doing. I found it took away from what I was thinking about the book.
The Writers readers note was something I did enjoy to do. It was fun to have the old pen and paper type of project to do throughout the semester. I could tell others would for sure lose interest in this, all they care about it technology lately. So I guess it has to go by what the class wants, maybe one class is more for it than another class.
Blogging in this class is pretty much what its all about.I enjoyed the idea of blogging more than I actually liked doing it. At the beginning of the semester I think I was all for it, but slowly just lost the drive to write 24/7. I think after I finished this class I will keep writing post just so its not just sitting here empty of new things.
At first I was completely against twitter, I tried my hardest to not ever actually get it. But I had to break down and get or else I would have lost so much marks and there would have been no point in coming to this class anymore.
Thank you Ms. McLauchlan for being such a great teacher this semester and thank you for coming with such great assignments!! In all this class was great!!
