Self-assessment

It is always a good idea to self-assess, even though we may not have the time to do it. We can be our own worst critics, and any person who has a real interest in learning and furthering their education will be brutally honest. My self-assessment for EDUC 2201 was a wake-up call. I thought I was sailing along and completing the work just fine. Unfortunately, I was not.
Things I learned:
-I was not posting links correctly. I was just copying and pasting like I always did. My husband helped me create links, and now I am link happy.
-My blog entries were not as complete as I had thought. I still need to go back and think carefully about what kinds of ISTE-NETS are applicable and add them to previous posts. I am still unsure if the way I go about doing that is correct, but I suppose there is no "incorrect" way as long as we get the point across.
-I had yet to start my TPACK paper. Yikes! I was guilty of this one for sure. I have since started on it, although it is still very anemic. I had started to read the article at the beginning of the semester but only got through page four or so. I found it to be extremely dry (sorry!). But, as a skimmed further, I found explanations for things that I needed and plan to go back through with more patience and finish reading it and put that knowledge to work in my paper.
-Anyone who has been following this blog or the discussion board knows my frustration and pitfalls with the Google drawing. Still cannot get that to work. But, if that's the worst thing that happens this semester, I'll take it.

All in all, I learned that I need to spend more quality time on this course, the assignments and blog posts. I had my doubts at the beginning of the semester, but now I am excited about what we are learning and the manner we do it in. I hope that reflects in my blog posts!
