Reflection

I was not aware of how popular Life Maps were until doing this project. It sure puts your life in perspective when you have to condense it down to a single page. I think all students would gain so much insight into their lives by doing a project like this. Especially since so many students are so visual anyway.

This project allows you to explore the question of where you have been and where you are going. I think it also teaches us not to repeat the same mistakes. It also helps us to focus better on the future.

I really enjoyed learning to use the different kinds of creative tools. My parents are getting ready to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. I now know how to transfer a digital photograph to an invitation. I notice I'm having less anxiety trying out the new tools now.

My Class

This year I plan to have my students make their own Life Maps. I believe the graphic interaction will really enhance their organizational skills. I also plan to use Kidspiration every chance I get since it is available through TPS

Creating a Life Map was difficult for me because I had never done one before. I had to do a lot of reading to understand how to operate the tools. I have a tendency to make things harder than they really are. I downloaded another software program through microsoft, but I didn't like it as well as Inspiration.
