Week Six Reflection

I had some previous knowledge of graphic design and spreadsheet use, so the flyer and the progress chart were not to difficult. I would like to point out that there are a number of programs available that are a hundred times better than microsoft word for creating flyers. I would never consider using microsoft word for doing this exercise. In addition, much detail is lost when converting to pdf. But since somwhere along the line, my .docx (and .doc) file went awry, and could not be viewed, I had no choice. The same with my excel file. After finishing the file, I asked myself the question "Would I show parents the status of every child in my class?" Maybe it is just me, but I do not think so. As far as the quiz goes, I have only a basic knowledge, so I decided to use "mylabschool" to expand my knowledge base. What an effort in futility. The website "sucks". I never could find the information that is supposed to be available. So my quiz is very basic, but good enough for a lesson presentation. All in all, I question the utility of this assignment.

  1. Kenneth, I agree with you that many other applications can be use to produce a flyer with better result. However, the software that most k-12 teacher are used to and are provided in school is MS suite. So creating a flyer in word is something they need to know. I like your design in flyer, but just wonder where the hard copies will be clear enough to read because of the contrast of the background.

    I didn't see your quiz linked here.
