8442 Project

Here is my introduction to the Keynote Speaker project. I didn't want to pay a person to do this professionally for me since it is a school project and not a real intro. If it were for a real conference, I would have perhaps hired a professional to make the sound more smooth and perhaps the graphics more clear. The Conference name (LHK) and the speaker (Dr. Smith) are "made up" for this project.
The annotated bibliography will be posted shortly.

I am currently relatively new to this whole dynamic and DE environment. This quarter at Walden was my first exposure to a Blog page (in EDUC 8442) and my first exposure to a Wikipage (in EDUC 8441). It is also my first exposure to creating a video (for 8442's project) and a Power Point with voice (8441 project). So I believe I started this course on the static end of the continuum but have gradually worked my way a little bit up the scale.

I do believe the best way to learn and to continue heading east on this graphic organizer (toward the dynamic end) is by just doing it. In the 1980's, people took courses to learn word processing, database management, etc. But today with the rapid speed of technological developments, it seems the best way to learn is OJT (on the job training) or by just doing it.
