Wow! It's finally came to an end! I can't believe it. I am actually quite sad. I enjoyed this class so much. I remember walking in to the classroom on the first day and feeling so overwhelmed. I had never worked on a mac computer before and was totally scared. Today I can proudly say that I no longer feel that way. In fact, it's actually quite the opposite. I feel that I am more apt to using a mac now simply becuase it's the type of computer that I used to after completing all these assignments on it and it will be the same computer that I will use when I get my own classroom. I want to first and foremost thank Professor McCulloch, for being a wonderful teacher. She was very very patient and understanding with me and my situations. She has an energetic personality that makes her students want to succeed and come to class! I didn't miss a day becuase I wanted to see what funny stuff she'd say. The design of the class was fantastic. I did things in this class that I could've never even thought possible and I did them without realizing that weren't as hard as I had previously thought. Secondly, I want to thank my group. The ladies Carrie, Sonia and Desiree, you three are great. I admire all your personalities, energy and creative minds. Thanks for working with me and leaving me with wonderful videos that I will hold on to for a long time. The experience was excellent. I wish everyone the best of luck in the teaching field. I think we will all have an advantage over other teacher candidates because we all learned a lot and had a super great teacher.
Sincerely:
Lisa

Hi Class! I just wanted to inform you of the experience that I had creating the imovie. It was actually a lot of fun ... well, the filming portion of the project at least. It was a lot of work once we were splitting clips and trying to place the order of the video. It was awkward doing the subtitles. I enjoyed the group that I had. Carrie, Desiree, and Sonia it was wonderful working with you girls. It was fun to see their spunkiness, creativeness and their excitement toward creating a learning yet fun experience. I really appreciated the fact that the movie was an assignment. Otherwise I would've never had the experience of working with imovie. I think it was a good experience that taught me a lot about how it is not impossible to create projects like this and they would be excited and motivated to use technology.
