Course-based Embedded Hours Internship Log
**// Directions: //** In submitting your Course-based Embedded Assignment Log for each Assignment in Appendix H of the Internship Handbook, you are required to reflect on the assignments by completing a reflection in your course wiki/e-portfolio that should contain a minimum of 300 words. These logs will be used to assist you in completing your EDLD 5370 Internship comprehensive exam final report. Students should use and cite their textbook references as well as two additional references when writing each reflection. The reflection must consist of statements regarding the knowledge you gained from the assignment and how the assignment helped you master the Technology Facilitator Standard(s) /Indicator(s).

Did the actual course outcomes align with those that you envisioned? My initial thoughts were that my Multimedia Video would be to simply create a video. I later learned that I would have to learn about all the software available for making videos. I had only ever used moviemaker to create videos. I enjoyed exploring and learning about so many other video software that was available at little or no cost. I also learned more about audacity and used it to create podcasts and audio files. I did use Movie Maker to create my final movie for the course. The course did meet all of expectations. The outcomes that I achieved can absolutely be applied to all of the work I do. I will be working with students and Movie Maker to make book trailers to motivate other students to read. Students will have to read the book, write their own summaries, write a script, then compose their book trailer. We can also use photostory if the kids prefer. I am also recording songs and chants that teach academic vocabulary using Audacity. After recording the files I can share them with their teachers and parents. Those are just a couple of examples but I have many more ideas I plan on implementing. I really feel like I wanted to learn more about another video tool other than Movie Maker. I only touched the surface with other software. Since this course is so fast paced I didn’t have enough time to devote to other software video tools. Although I did learn a lot I don’t feel comfortable enough to use them other than Movie Maker and Photo Story. I do plan on revisiting them and learning as I go and hopefully along with my students. I always struggle to complete assignments. I know most of my struggles come from trying to be Superwoman and juggle everything at once. Sometimes I have this fear of not coming up with a quality product and I tend to start over multiple times causing to sometimes do three times the regular work. Of course this leads to frustration and discouragement. I learned that I feel more confident when I can build on something I already know such as Movie Maker. I also learned that although it can get chaotic I can get through and accomplish what I set my mind to. I love how much I have grown in technology. I wanted to have more to offer my students and colleagues. I now feel that I have so much more to offer. I want my knowledge of technology to lead my students to places beyond the four walls in the classroom. I hope to give them skills that can apply to their coursework. Working on the project for this course proved once again that leadership should promote team collaboration. ||
