Reflection Questions

1. What happened? - FOCUS QUESTION - What knowledge was reinforced? What was new?
Skills required to put together an podcast were ones I've used before in previous class project, but haven't used recently.  It was good to have a chance to brush up on what it times to do a GarageBand project.  The iTunesU was new for me.  Since the workshop, I've found several podcast by university professors that I have been able to use for class.




2. So what?  - FOCUS QUESTION -  What was the significance of this workshop experience?
I like the "hands on" approach to learning.  It fit my belief in experiential learning as being fundamental to internalizing educational activities.  It also was great hearing others podcasts.  I learned new things from listening to different projects and getting chance to ask questions about what fellow teachers it.  The process was FUN and CREATIVE!!!
 


3. What's next?  - FOCUS QUESTION -   How can you use this new knowledge to help your building?
I work in the Multimedia Lab so the GarageBand  review has helped me answer student questions faster than I might have done otherwise.  This sharing extends to fellow teachers and students I meet with by sharing how to do things that make school projects more creative to inspire higher level thinking!
