Coarse & Mid Term Thoughts

I have really enjoyed this class so far. There has been so many things that I have learned how to do on my computer that I didn't know how to do before. Some programs I have had some experience with and this class has refreshed my memory on them. I never would have imagined that there were so many different things you could create using the Microsoft Word program. I always used it to type up research papers. Knowing how to make fliers, brochures, and invitations will be very beneficial to me in the future. Especially when I get back into working with children.
When I first looked at the midterm, I was kind of overwhelmed. I thought it would take a while to complete, but once I got started, I realized that it was pretty simple. The directions were easy to follow and I realized it was not as bad as I had first expected.

EDU 271

This class has been great so far. I have really enjoyed the assignments and have learned a lot. I have had a few computer problems but I have been able to work through it and make the best out of everything. The instructor has been wonderful and has been a big help to me when my computer was acting up.
The assignment I have been working on this week has been fun. I have never used templates before and I never imagined there were so many different types of templates to choose from. I chose to do invitations to give out to the parents, fliers as a reminder, and had intended to do a door hanger, but it wouldn't work out the way I had wanted to so I chose a poster instead. The colors I chose were blue, green, and purple. The event I had planned was an Easter party. There will be food, games, and prizes. Also there will be someone dressed up as the Easter Bunny and the children can get their picture taken with it. It wouldn't be an Easter party without an Easter egg hunt.
I thought by having this party, it would be a great way for the children and their parents to socialize with each other and get to know one another better.
