4th Blog Post

This week was so stressful. I had no idea what to make as my logo. Thank you professor for giving us more time. After I got an idea it was fun putting it together. I found a swirl tree in the online logo maker which inspired me. I created my own version of it on Photoshop. I added icons that symbolize what IDT is all about like self-directed learner, communicator, problem-solver, and critical thinker among others. I used Instructional Design Technology and formed it into a tree trunk. It was harder than I thought but finally I got it done. I was very lost this week as far as the learning theory assignment. It is proving very difficult to collaborate with my teams members as we are having a hard time getting in touch with each other. I thought the presentations were due this week so I was just going to submit what I had on Behavioral Leaning Theory. Luckily this weekend we communicated and I think the presentation is on its way. I had fun with the onlinelogomaker. There are so many ideas that one could use. All the graphic resources are great. I am going to have to learn how to use them during the summer when I have more free time. I still find myself having trouble with the reading assignments. Like you mentioned in one of the videos, there is a lot of reading. I have to admit that is the more difficult part of this class. Spring break might be coming up but I think I'm going to be busy getting ahead on the reading so I can understand the concepts and working on assignments. The work load is getting heavier so it's work work work time.

I was overwhelmed this week. The work load was alot more than the previous weeks. In class we used the Google forms to develop a quiz about what we had learned so far in class. That was pretty fun. I went through the posted tools that the professor gave us. Some of them are pretty cool. It's good to have many resources at hand for future use. The book we use for this class is a little harder to understand for me so it makes for having to re-read over and over again. The 3 chapter assignment is a little much for me as i struggle with reading. I consider myself a slow reader but I'm getting through it. I really like the assignments up at the top of the Module so I can see what is due. This way I can focus on the assignments and know when I'm done. This week I thought the only thing we had to do was sign up for a learning theory so I didn't work on it with my team mate. She reached out to me so we signed up for the Behavior Learning Theory. This next week is going to be more work on working with the group project. I definitely feel like I'm catching on but it's a little discouraging when I read all the post and my classmates seem to have a great grasp on everything they are doing. Some posts are so put together while mines lack more substance when it comes to the reading. I will definitely keep trying and put more effort towards putting out a better thought out post.
