What, So what, Now what

What:
This week in media class I really enjoyed being able to do the vid cast and pod cast. There were a few things that I am struggling with. I cannot seem to get my pod cast onto my classroom web page link....hmm. Other than that I think I have been pretty successful! I think that this would be a great activity for my students to participate in. However I do see a lot of concerns with doing this activity. A permission slip would be necessary in order for the students to put the vid cast on youtube. As a parent I wouldn't want my child to be on the internet, name or no name so I dunno maybe we could make a class video or something. I'll have to brainstorm about that and see how other parents feel as well. Also this week we have learned a lot about what a principle looks for in a teacher. For me this is a very common sense answer, however after looking and thinking more into it there are a ton of questions that have popped up that I haven't thought of before.
So what:
Now that I'm gaining a lot of information about vid casts and pod casts I can create a better classroom management skill, knowledge and fun activities. I would use the pod cast daily so if parents needed some explanations about homework, activities, field trips, etc they would be able to hopefully have access to this through my classroom web page. By allowing another form of communication to parents and students during times which I do not have open for class hours it makes me a better teacher and team member. I also think this would be a fun way to swap ideas between teams, schools and districts. I also feel that now I have more knowledge of how to present myself during an interview with the school principle as well as other collages.
Now What:
Now it is my responsibility to follow through with these ideas and start creating the reality instead of the dream. I feel as though now that I have all of this knowledge I can go forward and truly start being a well educated and well rounded individual and teacher. I have add this into my "time line" of do's and don't through out the program and I feel as though this has definitely been one of the more positive weeks.
