A3 E-Course



    The content in the E Course was very relevant for me as a student. When I firs started the course I was just ready for it to be over. I had to go back and review and re listen and that when I understood how helpful the soft ware in the course could be for me as a student. There so many different soft ware tools that I have never heard of that could made high school and Cole way more successful for me. I plan to try out some of these tools as I work on assignments and projects in the future,

The content in this course could relate to my career in the future because I want to be a teacher. Teachers can use these tools to collaborate with other teachers, students, and parents. I think using these tools will help me keep my students more engaged and have an overall positive effect on the students work.

     Its not really educational, but my ah - hah moment was when I found out you could video multiple people on Skype or google hangouts at the same time, kind of like a meeting but more personal for me. I could video my family at the same time so they could also talk with each other.

      The course was designed very great however I think I would have been more engaged with more graphics and things that could grab my attention, because I will admit I lost focus a lot. So suggestions from me for the course could be more images, videos, possibly educational games.

    The conceptual flow of the course was great. There were three units and then under each units were important features and tips. I think this is a great way to outline and distribute information

  I did have problems doing the course. At the very end of the course my computer decided to shut down and i was afraid I was going to have to start all over. luckily I just had to re do the last to questions and the survey to get my certificate again. Also the volume on my computer was very low so I had a hard time hearing but I did my best with what I could hear.

 The graphic design of the course was very helpful. It was easier for me to understand seeing pictures that labeled what you were explaining about the software and its features.

    I actually had a lot of trouble with the activity's. I took a lot of notes however, since I couldn't hear I think I misunderstood some of the information and matched them wrong. I had a hard time with the final two activities because I couldn't think of what to write so It'll be similar to the model and be correct.
 
Recommendations I have for the course would be for the notes sheet to be able to viewed at the same time as the course. It was hard for to watch the course having to pause to go to the note sheet. I think it would be easier for me to have them in hand at the same time.

overall I think the course helped me a lot. it was very long but I gained alot of helpful information.
