Last class, we kind of "started over" with garage band, because the majority of the calss was incredibly confused on it, including me. Our podcast assignment is going to come later. What we did is just simply play with the pre-programmed tunes on garage band to make our own songs. This was kind of fun, and I enjoyed listening to small songs everyone else made. I feel like I am finally really understanding some of the things that garage band can do and I am so glad we are taking it in small pieces.
In addition, since it's the end of semester I thought I would reflect on some of the things I have learned in ed tech.
The largest amount of learning I got in ed tech was from blogging and, suprisingly, the word processing unit. Blogging was completely new to me and I really enjoyed the challenge of trying to customize our page and post things different ways. In the word processing unit, I was actually surprised on how much I learned. I really thought I knew everything there was to word processing until we got assinged our 7 challenges. I now know how to resize a paper on screen so that it will print out on the same size paper, how to change backgrounds for an entire document, and a bunch of other fancy stuff.
Also, I have learned some new things from the other units too. For instance, during the slideshow unit, I went out of my comfort zone with powerpoint and explored google slides and prezi.
Ed tech has really taught me a lot this semester, and I can't wait to see what we'll be doing in the next.
Wow Abby that's really awesome that you learned so much! It was the same for me, I did so much stuff I never knew I could do before, ed-tech has taught me a lot! :)
