Final Blog Reflection

A) What was your most favorite topic, activity, subject matter or technology we did this semester?
Throughout this entire semester we have used so many new technologies and programs and covered a different space-related topic with each of them, no two projects were the same. Overall, I enjoyed doing so many projects one after the other instead if simply doing worksheets or labs, it allowed us to work at our own pace and find our own researching methods. My favorite topic this semester would have to be working on the moon projects, mainly because that is the most recent topic we learned about so I remember the most about it. Other than it being recent, I also enjoyed it because I got to use PowerPoint and I really like to use PowerPoint because i believe that you can personalize your presentation so well by using that application. The one technology that was new to me this semester was VoiceThread and Glogster. I will probably use Voice Thread again in my life because I like how it is such a different presentation tool.

B) What was your least favorite topic, activity, subject matter or technology we did this semester?
My least favorite topic to learn about this semester was the EM spectrum because I was absent that day we took notes so I didn't fully understanding by having to teach it to myself. I also didn't like the Big Bang Theory because I thought it was too far fetched to believe. The one technology I won't be using again is Glogster because I prefer creating posters with paper and a glue stick.

C) What is one thing you would change to make this class better?
I found it difficult to research and then more difficult to compile the notes in a way I could use them in a project, so I think it would be helpful for future classes if at the beginning of the year you had one class where you did an example researching process where you showed how to browse the internet for good websites and how to take good notes.

D What was the hardest thing for you to grasp or believe of all the things we talked about in class? Why?
It was hard for me to grasp the EM spectrum mainly because its something I cant see, so it was harder to remember things that went along with that. It was also hard to grasp the Big Bang Theory because I simply can't believe something without absolute proof that it happened, and I just can't believe that the universe just appeared.
