Final Blog

EDM310 with G. Tashbin has been a great experience. I want to go ahead and list 3 of my favorite experiences that I had throughout the EDM 310 process.

1. Blogging. I have to say that blogging was something that I could not see myself doing BEFORE this class. EDM 310 has opened my eyes to the powerful idea of blogging in the classroom. What better way to get your students interested in learning when you can have assignments online? Most adolescents are spending countless hours on the internet everyday, and I think adding online blogging and fun activities is a way to make that time useful.

2. Google Documents. I am an avid google user but to my surprise I never really used google for anything more than finding things online. With google docs, you can start a project or paper anywhere you have a computer and internet access. This program that google created is just amazing because its free for everyone and if you do not use google docs, you are seriously missing out.

3. Podcasting. This was definitely a first for me. I sort of felt like I was on a radio show telling everyone what I thought about using youtube for education. It was a cool experience and I think everyone needs to do this. Podcasting in groups makes the experience even better.


If I had to choose something to add to the EDM 310 experience I think there should be a couple more group activities. The podcast activity was alot of fun and I think other group activities would make this class more fun than it already is.


From learning how blogging works to recording podcasts, I have to say that I learned alot. I now see why this class is a requirement for everyone going into the education progran at the University of South Alabama. If anyone is on the fence on who to take for EDM 310 and Tashbin is one of the choices, you should go ahead and select this instructor as your own. This is a great course alone and it is made greater with the help of your instructor.
