Project+Reflection

Throughout this Flat Stanley project, I have learned and applied many new tools that I can incorporate into my everyday lesson plans. At first, this project seemed daunting because I was unsure of how I could use Wikis as part of the education process. I felt confident with digital image manipulation but had only gained this knowledge through personal trial and error using software that was already installed on my computer. This lesson taught me how to use other software like “PICNIK” and how easy it was to get the desired results in manipulating digital pictures. Navigating through the Wiki has been, in my opinion, the best tool that I have learned. Prior to this assignment, I was very unfamiliar with the idea and usage of Wikis. The entire process has allowed me to be more efficient in using Wikis. I have learned to take and manipulate digital images and add them to my Wiki, I have learned to navigate and add links to my Wiki, and I have learned how to link my pages to other Wiki pages. All in all, I am impressed with how easy using Wikis can be and how they can become part of my curriculum.
