So, without further ado, I present to you my Final Reflection showcasing what I learned this semester. Leave a comment or question below!
A week has come and gone since my last post. My weekend was crammed with wedding showers which meant plenty of baking and gift wrapping for me. I had mentioned my love of baking in the little blurb about me located in my blog sidebar, and have included a picture to showcase my wares. They were vanilla cupcakes dipped in white chocolate ganache, and then topped with blueberry buttercream, blueberry-orange drizzle, and a fresh blueberry. There are few things that make me happier than baking and teaching. Except for maybe editing videos, which I was also doing this weekend in an attempt to complete my Final Reflection on time. Unfortunately my archaic computer was taking upwards of 7 hours to upload 30 second clips I had created with Screencast-O-Matic until finally giving me the metaphorical finger in the form of a spinny wheel of death and then shutting down for the night. When I finally got it turned back on, there was not a trace of my project in sight. Thankfully my partner returned like a knight in shining armour Sunday night with his laptop in tow so I could proceed to basically start from scratch. His Mac is much more modern than mine and was exponentially faster and easier to use, so I was able to complete it with no problems.

I have been thinking a lot about my final reflection piece to sum up my learning in this class. I have been inspired by the series of "The Web Is What You Make Of It" videos Google Chrome has created. I like the screen shots they have used and the sound of typing you can hear over the music. I'm not sure why, but it appeals to me. So, I have started experimenting on my computer to try and create my own video. I used Screencast-O-Matic to record my screen shots and then edited my clips in iMovie. I have some experience working with iMovie from last spring while I was in Québec for the Explore program. I figured out how to edit a movie using the French version there, so I feel confident in my ability to navigate the English version at home. Here is a sneak peek of what I was playing around with tonight:
