Weekly Blog Number Fourteen

This week in class we were introduced to the first part of our final. We have to make a flyer, newsletter, and a brochure using any tool that we have learned about this term. I thought it was a fun final assignment.

I had alot of trouble making my flyer at first. I decided to design it in Google presentations. I don't know why I thought this would be a good idea. It was very hard and the program kept malfuntioning. I couldn't get it to look quite how I wanted it to. So I then decided to use Word Publisher. All seemed to go well, it was nice, because this program had templates so it was nice to have a good starting point. All went well, until I tried to open or/and save the file as a PDF. It would open up as a blank page. Everything I tried didn't work. So I ended up just doing the flyer in Power Point using Word. I'm not as excited to do the other two projects anymore.

I hope that through this assignment I will be able to reach back into my memory and utilize tools we have learned this semester. By the end I know that I will realize how easy this assignment is and I will be able to make these kind of documents with very few difficulties in my future classroom. I do know that I will be making these kind of documents in the future.

For the video this week we watched Schoolhouse Rock- A Noun is a person, place, or thing. I thought this video was really cute. I remember watching it when I was younger. I think it is a great way to teach children a concept through visual, and musical aide. I just really enjoyed it. It took me on a trip down memory lane.:)
