My EDM310 Blog Assignments are now Complete

Dear classmates,
I enjoyed taking this class with you. I never really got to know any of you other than those of you who I sat near/next to. I hope you learned as much as I did, and I hope to have other classes with you in the future.

What I've Learned

I have learned quite a bit in EDM 310. I was semi-computer literate before taking this class, but now I know a lot more than I did coming into the class. We learned many of the different applications to Google-- everything from the many applications to iGoogle, to Picasa, to Docs and Spreadsheets, to creating web sites with Googlepages. We also had another project where we learned how to create a tri-fold brochure. I truly believe this class will help me a great deal when I become a teacher because I will be able to use just about everything we learned how to do!

Top 10 Education blogs

The title of the Top 10 blog that corresponds with my birth month is The Miss Rumphius Effect. After skimming the blog, it looks like Librarians and English/Literature teachers could benefit from the blog. Some of the posts inlcude book reviews, thematic lists, and different thoughts on teching and learning. One important idea from the blog in the Blogging for a Cure campaign. This is a campaign run by bloggers that will be auctioning off artwork from over 200 children's book illustrators in order to raise money for the fight against cancer. Here is a link to the Blogging for a Cure blog.
