Reflection

I really like the idea of putting together electronic books and activities for students. The way kids are so intuned with tech society, I can see where involving them in the actual planning and step by step process is so important for them to be more efficient in middle school and high school. I didn't realize the types of multimedia software that is available until doing this project. Also it really seems to develop your critical thinking and creative side. I think the combination is just wonderful. It adds a whole new dimension to using the computer.
 
I purchased the HyperStudio software and I really enjoy seeing how other teachers use different activities. I like using the graphics, the sound device, and had never created turning buttons before. I now notice I observe more how screens are put together on everything from the computer to the television. I like the idea of using multimedia because I think it will help me as a teacher to be able to more specifically address the needs of the children. I made an electronic book and enjoyed so much putting it together. I went ahead also and did a Powerpoint Presentation and added some effects that I had never tried before. It came together just fine in the end. I have become more familiar than ever with the toolbar. It has been a lot of work, but a lot of fun too!
