EDLD+5363+Reflection



Alberto Guia ** EDLD 5363 Reflection ** Video Technology and Multimedia was a very fun and at the same time a very frustrating course. I found the assignments meaningful and gained some knowledge that will help me as an educational technology leader, includes some skills that I never would have thought to gain from a technology course. This course forced everyone to create groups to design and develop a PSA (Public Service Announcement). The idea behind the project a great, work as a team to develop and produce a video. The legalists of such as project were in my mind horrible. The group I joined contained people from all across the state. Each member of our groups was assigned a role and we had to depend on each other to work on their respective parts in order to come to the finished product. By nature I do not like group projects. I do not link depending on others to do something I can easily do by myself. So while do this major project it was a test of my skills as both a professional and an educator to allow myself to let others do their end of the project and believe they would. The course required all of us to depend heavily on online collaboration tools such as Google Docs and wikis to communicate and share information with each other. I feel the finished product was great and the experience of working together and depending on each other to do what it takes to get the job done was a great experience and added to my toolbox.
