Blog 7

Blogging this semester was a great way to just sort of casually sum up my thoughts for myself. In a way, it was almost like an online journal, however, it was a journal I could share with others, where they could either nod along with me or perhaps share a different experience. From my personal blogs, I categorize them as follows...

Professionalism: 3 http://amcmillanc547.blogspot.com/2018/02/pro-blog-3.html

I chose this one because I think it reflects my thoughts on more professional material

Design: 1 http://amcmillanc547.blogspot.com/2018/01/hey-everyone.html

I chose this one because I like how I included personal photos and a fun link to express myself.

Creativity: 2 http://amcmillanc547.blogspot.com/2018/02/pro-blog-post-2.html

This whole post was kind of a post on the creativity of teaching...I like my photo 

People's Choice Definition: 1 http://amcmillanc547.blogspot.com/2018/01/hey-everyone.html

This one has the best of everything...even though the subject isn't exactly education related. 

Overall, looking at the valued components we came up with as a class for blog posts, I feel as if I may have fallen a little short in the professionalism category. I wish I would have proved my thoughts to be more credible while pairing it with my voice. 

I choose to give my People's choice award to Victor's blog post #6 https://victorsincomparableblog.wordpress.com

Victor is always playful but professional in his approach to diving into his ideas. I love the language and the professional quality that it holds. 

Blog post #6

Testing out my multimodal skills was more fun than I thought it would be. I used iMovie and it basically walked me through every step. All I had to do was find a song on my phone that I wanted to use for the audio and it was easily accessible since I was working with all of my Apple programs. The next step was to just choose the photos I wanted to use, and those were on my phone as well. Details that I had a little trouble figuring out were how to add text...there weren't any clear edit buttons for that, but I eventually figured out that I just had to click on the photo that I wanted the text to appear on in order to do so. This project was just a fun project, so I don't know how my techniques could drive learning, but the song is comical along with the photos, so I guess you could say that it's the attempted comedy that drives the video...along with the cute pictures of my dogs.
