Reflection on Book Builder and use in classroom

This week I felt was going to be a long week with all the assignments, I had heard one person had taken 11 hours to make the ebook, I was nervous. How was I going to fit all this in and do my lesson planning and grading for my own classroom. But when I got ontohttp://bookbuilder.cast.org website, and then finally figured out what I was going to make a book about it took no time at all. The most time was on actually finding pictures from the internet that would go along with my topic. Well, it went great, first one I pulled up had all the pictures I needed on one picture, so I just cropped the individual ones I needed and only had one reference that I needed to site.
I can’t wait to use this in my classroom or course after the year slows down and I can actually stop and make one but I think the kids would love it, I could teach them how to make one and especially in dealing with history they could make a biography on a famous person in history and do it like a book and do the presentation on the computer. I am going to use it making notes for them to take showing them how to set up their journals this way I can do it in a lesson.

The reason I wanted to get my Master’s in Technology is because I want kids to learn more and be exposed to all types of technology and software, etc. because that is the way our world is headed and I want them to be able to be right along with the technology and not behind because no one showed them how.
