Digital Autobiography Reflection

My link to my digital autobiography: http://www.vuvox.com/collage/detail/05db3d6489

I exerted a lot of effort into this project. This is my first time using Vuvox so it took me a little bit to figure everything out. I then went through the pictures on my computer and made a separate folder for my ten pictures to be saved into. I spent about 20 minutes going through the pictures because it was hard to decide on only ten pictures. After uploading the pictures into Vuvox I put them in chronological order and added text to explain each picture. I then struggled for a little bit trying to figure out how to upload music into Vuvox. I did figure it out eventually and previewed my presentation before publishing it.

One thing of value in completing my autobiography using Vuvox is that I learned how to do something new. I have only worked with power point before this. I actually found it easier to use Vuvox than power point. Another thing of value from doing this assignment is that I am keeping myself up to date with the newest forms of technology out there that are for creating presentations like this.

Completing this course task impacts my future teaching by helping me to realize that there are many different programs out there that my students can use for when they need to make some kind of presentation. As I mentioned above, I had some trouble with some aspects of Vuvox, knowing that I can give my students a brief overview of how the program works before they use it, or I could also send home a sheet of FAQs for students to consult when they are completing their projects.
