Course Reflection


I am excited to start using the projects that we created in this class with my own students!

The digital story was one of my favorite projects that I have done so far with the MET program. It was a long process, but the end product was worth it.  I am planning on creating digital stories as a second quarter project with my students’ narrative essays.  They will be doing the same writing process that we used with this class to help develop their ideas and stories.

The infographic was a challenge for me. I wasn’t sure where to create it and I wanted to use something that my students would also have access to.  I felt like I needed more time, but it may have just been that I wasn’t familiar with it and wasn’t sure how or where to create it. My students started on their own infographics this week on Native Americas, so I am excited to walk them through the process and see how they turn out. I am having them do a rough draft of their infographic before they go to the computer to create it. (Here are the guidelines that I gave my 5th graders. I will link the rubric if I get it done this week.)

  1. Info graphics makes you to understand the story easily and it makes you to express your innovative ideas in developing your project.

  2. I really wish that we would have had more time to work on the infographic. I felt the pressure was on to pick a topic, chose your format, and create it.
