It's done! My "Half Marathon: Personal Training Guide" is finished. Woo-hoo! Can you hear me screaming in excitement? Although, this excitement has turned into nervousness. Will others be able to view it? Have I correctly followed the steps? I saved the final product, a PDF file, to My Workspace in Oncourse. Here it is:

Can you see it???
I tried to do a trial run by copying and pasting that link into a browser window. It directed me to a CAS log-in page and so I'm concerned my peers won't be able to view my personal document. Can you help me out by clicking the link and either confirming my anxiety or putting it to ease?
I now really understand how students feel when they're overwhelmed and anxious with new technology. Students are very comfortable with certain forms of technology, but often when it comes to academic work, it might be new. This process (and recent hiccup/ anxiety) has reminded me that students working on inquiry need patient support and lots of detailed step-by-step directions. Professor Lamb has been very kind in answering all of my questions. That's appreciated.
I am very proud of my final product. It represents hard work.
How will I communicate my ideas with others? Will I share it with friends or classmates?
I HOPE to share my document via the link above. I want to my classmates to be able to view it and provide feedback. I saved my Publisher file as a pdf document so that it could be accessed by a wider audience. As it comes up in conversation and it gets closer to the time to start training for the half marathon, I'll absolutely share my work with others. I think this will involve simply emailing the document as an attachment.
This is the stage that Callison describes as, "Projects are shared with peers and parents in celebrations." Please celebrate with me. If you are able to view it, what are your thoughts? Feedback? Suggestions?
On to the final step of Wishing: assessing my project and reflecting on the process.
This is wonderful! I could see it and enjoyed reading it. I am also going to print it for (hopefully) future reference.
ReplyDeleteWAY TO GO!
Thanks for your positive feedback, Christy! Also, thanks for checking the link and easing my anxiety. There's nothing worse than finishing a project with the fear that it hasn't been submitted "correctly". Aaaah, I can breathe a little more easily now. :-)
