That's a Wrap! CEP 812 is in the books

The biggest personal development I made during this class had to do with my pursuit of edugaming. I have definitely taken a number of steps forward to making this dream a reality. From the commencement of my MAET course work edugaming was one of my main goals. Reflecting back on my childhood I had been taught several major concepts through the stealth tactics of entertaining that were also educational. From my research in the SIG I have begun to learn several strategies as to how to structure games in my classroom. I will continue to follow this path on my own until I can use gaming in my classroom. Effective edugaming is my ultimate goal for technology in the classroom. I will achieve it! I hope to develop an effective strategy to use these games by the end this coming summer (2010), then a means of allocating funds for class licensing by the end of next school year (2011). Hopefully I will be able to effectively implement these games by the beginning of the 2011 school year.

Perhaps the most challenging part of this class was my podcasat post. I had no problem creating the actual file but uploading the file to my MSU webspace using notepad as my webpage designer was quite a challenge. This certainly helps me evaluate the technical challenges that I would wish to avoid when I am using web design processes in class. If I do use a path this complicated to post files I will definitely create quite a bit of structure so that my students don't run into the same time consuming problem.
