Creating and watching infomercials for this assignment was interesting
to me, as it gave a visual for the enhanced learning tools presented by my
classmates. Watching a tool in use was more beneficial than just listening to a
verbal presentation of the subject being addressed. To see the tool applied to
a situation was helpful, and allowed for me to understand clearly what to do.
My classmates did a good job explaining their tools, and opening my eyes to
different tactics that are out there.
The way I think about learning using tools was challenged, as I did not
even realize the amount of tools out there that could be used to change
"boring" everyday classroom habits. By integrating some of the
strategies demonstrated by my peers, classrooms could be transformed to include
more technology integration and more interaction between students.
For me personally, I learned how to work creativity in a group by
listening to an influx of different ideas and reaching an agreement and common
ground about which would be most beneficial to explain our topic. My group
works well together to reach agreements about how our projects should flow, and
this group work also allows for us to work together to produce a presentation.
Also by watching our classmate's videos, we were impressed with the efforts
they put in to create and showcase their own tools. I especially liked the
Evernote presentation and the Edmodo presentation, as they were well explained,
and included tools I could see myself using in the future.
