Turnitin

The TurnItIn lesson seems to be an extremely beneficial application for teachers as well as students. This would be something that once I was in my very own classroom setting that I would use in a middle or high school. TurnItIn allows professors as well as teacher to check papers for plagiarism, which can help students to be honest as well as help make sure that other students work is not stolen or borrowed from to assist in writing other works. I can see how the student realm would despise of this application.

Movie Blog

Developing a concept for the movie assignment seemed to rather easy and interesting. The assignment was not difficult, although a little tedious. I rather enjoyed developing something from nothing and seeing the end result. This is something that I think that I will introduce to my 10-year old. It was fun and relaxing and it is something that I never knew existed on my very own desktop at home, but will play with more to create home movies/videos for my children to have to show their kids. This was of benefit and I enjoyed the assignment thoroughly.

Last Days Drama

I feel so overwhelmed with all of my classes. Of course I am behind in a number of classes and am trying to play catch up. I am having a more difficult time coming up with ideas than anything. Executing the assignments would be such a breeze if I could only come up with great ideas. The end is quickly approaching us and though I am ready for this to all be over, I don't think that I am READY. Ugh!
