The Educational Journey of an Aspiring Teacher

Some of the skills I learned from completing Assignment 5 was how to hyperlink text and changing the setting so that the linear flow of the PowerPoint is turned off. I really loved creating my Jeopardy and finding all of the questions and answers and adding them to the PowerPoint. It was a great, fun way to become more accustomed with how to work PowerPoint. However, I didn't like how long and tedious the assignment was. There was a lot of detail that became very monotonous. I loved seeing how creative my classmates have been with their blogs. You can see that we are learning the tips on technology very well as we are implementing them into our blogs. The websites that I checked out from my classmates' blogs was very interesting.

I made sure to keep the fonts for my titles and body text all the same size, design and color so that everything was easy to follow. I really like the assignment! It was a fun and engaging way to use the stuff we have learned in class and apply it to a fun activity. But not just an activity, but something that I will most likely have to do when I am a teacher.
