Finished!

I am officially done with all my work. Now, I have to work packing. I have a long flight ahead of me and I have yet to complete my packing. I really think that I should be doing that right now but I guess writing about counts as working towards it. 

I was so scared of the online assessment, thank god, it was not that bad. If you read the book and understand your material, you should be fine. If I can pass, so can you, and if you can't, well, I am not sure on what to say. 

My GED578 experience has been great. I really enjoyed the alternative types of learnings we engaged in. It is good to have a course like this one. I won't be able to choose one specific activity or session as I found each and every one of them to be very interesting. 

I truly think that once you take this class, your perspective towards acquiring and sharing knowledge should change. Its the digital age, your kids are walking around with iPODs. If you teach, you should implement these technologies in your classroom.

Near complete


So I completed my GED578 paper. That was a major effort completed. While I am still trying to work on some of the material for other classes, I am starting to feel much better and lighter. 

What interesting is that when I was working on my GED578 paper, I found so many correlations between the 599 and the 578 research. Even though the topics were not the exactly the same, some of the sources I found were same so I had to go out and search for more sources. 

Having the library resources is truly wonderful. Using these resources I have been able to working on all my pages and my projects. From searching for scholarly work to reading a book online, its all available to us!

Peer reviewing also worked out very well for me. The suggestions that were recommended to me were to the point. I was able to go back to my paper and fix the changes. For some of the things that required further clarification, I re-wrote some content.

Countdown?


WOW, what a busy start for a week. I must have only gotten less than 3 hours of sleep for the last 3 nights just finalizing some of the projects. The 578 paper is coming along pretty well and I am nearly completion. 

Tomorrow, I will have to focus on working on the presentation piece for GED578. I have been thinking of taking some screenshots and doing some photoshop work and then finally bringing it all in iMovie. I hope that all of this works just as smooth as it sounds. 

This Thursday is my flight! I will be leaving for Pakistan in the afternoon. What scares me though is the online assessment and finishing up this paper in just a couple of days; but, I have done miracles before :-) 

By the way, its sad that I won't be seeing you guys anymore for the rest of this quarter. One the brighter side, I will be coming back with my wife! In other words, Ali 2.0, better, faster! Now I shall return to iMovie and continue reading the tutorials.
