Reflection LE-4

This will be my final reflection.  I have now finished the third part of my media course.  I have learnt a lot when I look back to the very first assignment from part one to the final assignment in part three.  I would have to say that in the beginning I really didn't have a good understanding of media literacy.  I was like most and just thought about commercial advertising.  Not to say that learning about that is not great and very valuable as well.  I still think that that is where a lot of great jobs are.  I now understand that being media literate is much more than that. I feel more comfortable talking with other teachers about media and would like to share some of my learning with them.  Social networking is one aspect that I think I learned the most about during this part.  I had fun adding to my blog and think that many of my students would feel the same way when we try one soon.  I would have to say that I also have to thank the others in the course because without their feedback and ideas, I would have not thought about the assignments as much as I did.  I would highly recommend this course to all other teachers no matter what stage they are at in their teaching career.  This is one course that the information that you learn can be used right away in your classroom.  The students will enjoy it and I think you will find motivation less of a problem.  Thanks to everyone involved.
