Seeing Through New Eyes

Well, class is officially over but there is still a lot of work to do. I have been quite pleased with what I learned over the last week. It was enjoyable and informative. It's great when those two coincide. I really enjoyed learning about Camtesia and RoboDemo. They are great tools. Ellie and I ventured to a movie Friday night to let our brains rest and when it was all said and done we were still analyzing the movie like we were still in class. I guess that's ok, sometimes. I feel charged up and ready to continue learning and growing within the field of Instructional Design and in Distance Education. -Heather

Well, it is day three of INST 6750 with Sandie Waters. It has been going well. We have discussed a lot of issues and have learned about some great tools. I have really liked all the tools we've talked about. I guess the ones that I have really liked and would be is Instant Messaging (IM) and Breeze in PowerPoint. I love the tasks you can handle with IM. It is dynamic and fast paced, but a great way to collaborate and discuss. Eddie Loo spoke to us this morning about Macromedia Breeze and using it for audio in PowerPoint. Oh, that was great! It was so cool to see and hear presentations by people overseas from the United States. I can see the potential this tool has for Distance Education, especially International Education. -Heather
