Personal Reflection on MD-400

I was very nervous, in the beginning, for the following reasons:

1)      Being my first course towards my MA Educational degree, I was nervous

2)      English is not my first language

3)      As a mature student, technology has become harder to learn

Nevertheless, I love this class so much for the reasons below:

a)      I learned so much new network technology. I heard about it a lot, now I am using it

b)      I created my own blog and I would like to use it as a platform to invite other colleagues to
         comment

c)       I designed a personal website which I started using for classes and in a conference.  It is practical and useful

d)      UDL contents remind me of the importance of pre-designing lessons and to reach out/fulfill each child’s need.  No child left behind

e)      Inquiry-based teaching and learning enriches a student-centered method

f)       Photoshop was a challenge.  I am still trying to become familiar with it

g)      I created a “Chinese Characters” digital story to introduce the most challenge part in learning this language.  I am so surprised to see that one of my students asked me if she could develop her own digital story.

I am glad that I started taking MA with the first class MD-400.  I am confidence that I will be doing fine with the rest of my journey.
