Today, the presentation done on chapter four was very informative and reinforced everything that I learned. When I read the chapter, I was a little overwhelmed with all the movements that we have experienced throughout history. The video they started their presentation with allowed me to tie everything that I read together. The small group activity was very beneficial to me because I was able to hear other peoples perspective on positives, negatives, and major implications of each change in history.
Also, Jeff's tutorial on audacity and garage-band I assume will be very helpful when I begin producing my podcast. I was very surprised how easy it is to make a podcast. It involves a lot of dragging and dropping, which I do not think will be very difficult.
The contemporary issue presentations addressed today were interesting topics that I was familiar with prior to their presentations. I enjoyed the topic about virtual field trips and the virtual courses, and I feel more compelled towards these topics. Virtual field trips are cool and I will use those in my classrooms in the future as an educator. However, some virtual courses that are offered seem to be ineffective to me. For instance, my sister took a public speaking virtual course, which to me just seemed counteractive to the purpose of that course.
