This whole blogging experience has been very exhilarating and somewhat frustrating.
It's been exhilarating because I have learned so much so quickly and now know how to embed video from Youtube into my blog! Yay ! (The Chris Brown/Elmo video on my first post is what I am most proud of. Making it work was very empowering!)
It's frustrating because there is so much more I want to do now, and I am having trouble uploading podcasts from itunes and some other types of media that I want to include. I just need to be patient...but I'm on a roll!
This experience has already taught me so much about my learning brain. I honestly do so much better learning through a multi-media approach. I always thought of myself as a "visual" learner and, while there is still much truth to that, I am now thinking about "listening" in a whole new way.
I realized after 22 years of "straight-forward" schooling, the podcast lectures that HGSE offers are the tool that helps me learn best. I really benefit from re-listening and watching the lecturer speak and the power point slides as I listen. Straight reading is a bit taxing and overwhelming, even though I do not have a "reading disability".
I am really starting to appreciate what UDL has to offer...and hopefully I can use it to offer empowerment to the students I teach.
