Semi-Burnt Cupcakes

So while trying to keep up with the hustle and bustle of doing my Capstone project I tried to actually cook some cupcakes. With the advances in technology these days you would figure an up-to-date oven could cook cupcakes properly, wrong. I feel bad but I do not have the time to actually cook something else for tomorrow's potluck, and who knows someone may actually like them. All in all, I learned that cooking and rushing to complete a final do not go hand in hand.

Work, Work, Work all day long

Now that the school year is ended I have finally started my job at Parks & Recreation. Having only 5 kids is a little it of a drag considering I had like 120 last year :/. Anyways, I actually have kids that behave and are respectful, *sigh of relief.* With that starting and witb it being Father's Day Weekend I have yet to do my reviews of the learning modules. Although I'm prone to procrastination I'm actually going to work on that right after this post. I have taken a gander at one of the learning modules, Digital Storytelling, and I have to say that it was FANTASTIC. Great job by Chuck and his partner. Hoping that others look at mine and have the same reaction. So back to work I go.

My Partner(s)?

Nonexistent...SIKE! So luckily I have been graced with great partners in EDT class. Dawn was pretty much working with myself with the sarcasm, drive, and actual substance behind the work. Great times. Then there is Danielle, who is the complete opposite of myself. If we were food, I would be some ridiculous form of sushi (which I loathe besides Tornado Rolls) and she would be a pleasant dish of chicken parmigiana with spaghetti on the side. I'm very outgoing and takes a little bit to get used to while Danielle, she's a favorite for all and almost everyone will enjoy her.

Thanks to both of you.

Progress...

Both of the Learning Modules are just about complete! Praise the Lord. All that is left to do is some minute touch ups to some wording and they will be complete. This has definitely been my favorite activity thus far, with the actual result of our work being right there for us to look at. In addition, we know exactly what we are working towards. Weebly has turned out to be a piece of cake, especially since it is so similar to MPortfolio. So I leave you on a good note, for once, and hopefully everyone else's project is going smoothly.

Creating a Website

Finally we get to the week where we get SWAMPED with work. It's not too bad because it actually quite interesting what we are working on. The development of both of the Learning Modules Danielle and I created is magnificent. They seem like they will be quite feasible and understandable. Hopefully they will find it interesting like I do. The comic book is still my favorite because of multiple variables you can put into the comic strip. Anywho, I need to get back to work so I can play some roller hockey tonight.

Sunny Days and Burnt Skin

Although the excessive heat has created a massive farmer's tan it has been a breath of fresh air. Plus, having pool can make the burden of this weather much easier. #Refreshment Besides that, in the past week of this class I have actual seen some improvement of where we will be ultimately achieving. The activities that I read were very intriguing and should be useful. The only problem I have is that there seems to be a lack of substance on the comments provided by some of the students in the class. You can tell where someone didn't actually read the article when they don't show true analysis of your topic. #disappointed

Two Feet on a Dashboard...

Finally sunny skies and the rain has hopefully gone away for awhile. The almost week off from class has been quite the breath of fresh air I have needed. This is my first summer class I have ever taken and it was nice to actually bask in the glory of warm weather and attempt to get tan on this nearly apparition like body of mine. Anywho, there wasn't much in depth analysis on the topic of Digital Footprint but, there was an analysis of my partners. I do enjoy my group and the people that I get to interact with. I'm interested as to what we will be doing this week.

Peace Easy

Rain, Rain, Go Away

In week two of Technology of Education I found myself swamped with things to do. Despite the weather, I made it outside and went golfing. I would not like to share my score because I'm sure some of you would laugh at it. Also, working and playing hockey consumed quite a bit of my time. Winning a championship, although it is a "beer league," also calls for a celebration that you can't turn down. Yet, with all this time being taken up I have found enough time to actually do all of the homework for this class *sigh of relief*. In this week's self-education I learned even more about "Digital Footprint." Things like learning an unborn child has a digital footprint is just mind-boggling. Also, with working on the survey I learned a lot of things could have been cited better and we would have gotten better results in a survey. All-in-all not to bad of a week, hopefully the weather will come up so I can find other ways to procrastinate my homework.

First Day

After going to the zoo on the Wednesday I found myself strutting into FCS to start my first summer class ever. I have heard what to expect for this class from students who have taken this class prior to this semester. When I walked into the class I was thrown a complete curveball about what we will be doing in this course.

I never thought about my digital identity and the things online that may present myself in either a positive or negative manner. It will be quite interesting in how this class proceeds but, it will be an interesting, and probably troublesome, time.
