My Experience with an Application

            You may believe that to build an application requires a masters degree in computer science. Indeed, it is not easy nor simple but demands time and organization. In the same way, you may imagine that someone with little experience on computers may found this task impossible; therefore,  when the professor Cindy assigned us a final project about constructing an application  I thought: “ this is the end of the world, and I may fail on this course.” However, this Wednesday I summited my application and I felt triumphant for this achievement. But, there are some important things to that I want to share with you about my experience with this application.

           First and foremost, it is important to manage time wisely. Applications may require a series of details that sometimes cannot be done overnight. Professor Cindy gave us final project guidelines that include the construction of: slideshare, podomatic and knovio. These three websites also required time and dedication, so anyone with this assignment should consider time wisely. In the same way, time is required to check  videos on  use Youtube and time will be needed to search for information on Google in order to  learn about the websites.  Therefore, consider your time and check out  the tutorials because you may find vital information for the construction of the application.

         After some time looking at videos and tutorials, you will be able to construct the application . This  experience  is like finding  light after being in darkness. To be sure, It took me nearly 30 hours, and I had to put all my knowledge at work. I cannot express with words how great I felt when I was capable to use slideshare, podomatic and knovio.     

         Lastly, it is important to get some feedback from the professor about details that may occur during the construction of the application. Professor Cindy `s assistance is vital during the construction of the application. The completion of the task is impossible without her help. Needless to say that, during these four months she  has dedicated all her knowledge for delivering a great course. She  has made this experience meaningful.

          In the end, you will feel like a computer programmer. This task has  definitely put all of my knowledge at work. Essentially, my computer skills have become my best friend. As we have learnt " the more you know ,the better you will teach. " This application will be my shield to take after all the challenges that are coming. I want to say: “ this course means the future for me  because as a teacher  I will try to use all the principles that were acquired in this course."

                                                       Class Discussion

 

             Using Technology in education is a subject that has been developed extensively in the last three weeks. Until this point no one can deny that using technology in the classroom it is  an essential part in the education of the 21 first century. This Wednesday we talked about the importance of Project Based Learning, and the usage of Online Education. During class we discussed the traditional way of teaching  and we contrasted with new ways of teaching. During class Teacher Cindy gave more input about these topics and she made us aware of the importance of using technology in education. We used most of the lesson giving supporting arguments about these subjects. In the end, the professor grant us the rest of the time for us to use in our projects. I exploited the chance and showed Professor Cindy my project, for she always gives me feedback. Basically, the project she has assigned us to do  is an Application that summarizes all the subjects viewed in classroom.

         In conclusion, although the incorporation of technology has been gradually increasing in schools, there is people who still reluctant to incorporated in their classrooms. With IT TOOL `s class I have learned to be aware of the importance of IT TOOLS in education.

                                          
                                             Three classes before the end of the quarter.

 

I distinctly remember when I first enter into the IT Tolls class. I had no idea that I could use excel or I could have a better command of Microsoft Word. I did not know anything about the importance of It Tools in the English education and how essential it is to have computer skills in order to be a better teacher in the twenty first century. I want to say that it has not been easy because to know computer skills requires trial and error. Our professor in the last classes has been giving us time to reflect on the benefits of using technology inside the classrooms.


I consider that my knowledge about IT TOOLS is limited but at least with this class I grasped the basics components that I need to expand in the near future. This past Wednesday Professor Cindy showed how curriculums have been evolving from teacher centered classrooms to classrooms were students take charge of their learning environment. To be sure that is a characteristic of the twenty first century teachers.

 

In conclusion, in spite of the fact that the lessons were hard and that they needed lots of concentration I have change 300 percent and I have become a better teacher. I hope to continue in this ongoing learning experience and become a great teacher.
