Our class has begun to work on flip charts this week. I really enjoy the assignment because it allows for choice and creativity; however, there are some things that I think could be changed in the instruction given to us for using flip charts.
I think we could have combined two days worth of class into one. I feel that we spent a lot of time reviewing the basics of ActiveInspire. And although instruction of the basics is necessary, I feel that we could have gone over them in one day instead of continuing this instruction onto the next day, but I may view it this way because I like to see an example and then learn it by trying it out on my own.
One part of the instruction that I thought was the most helpful was when we got to see how to create the different types of interaction step by step and then practice it on our own. For me, it would have been helpful to have more of this type of instruction.
I also liked how we used the story boards. I usually start a project by doing one part at a time, but this helped me see the whole picture before starting to work. I also liked that we were able to change things on our story board if they didn't quite work the way we wanted them to at first. It wasn't something that we had to stick to no matter what. I saw it as more of a guideline or an outline that I might use when writing a paper.
I really like this assignment, and I can see how this would be effective in a classroom. Of all of the projects we have done in this class, I believe this is the one that I see being used the most in actual classrooms; therefore, I am all for flip charts.
