Zoho vs. Google

Here I go again with my song and dance. I have been working on this in between preparing for my group evaluation project. I have been trying to get this table done but it's just not going well. It makes me want to cry how frustrating this course has made me. I am going to keep trying until I get it worked out. Keep your fingers crossed for me. If anyone has an suggestions let me know. It talked like it was so simple on the videos but I guess I'm the dummy that cannot get it. What is going on?

WebQuest Group Evaluation

The webquest group evaluation was OK doing it as an individual but not always run smoothly within a group. We are all guilty at some point of procrastination but when you do it in a group project that needs input from each other is horrible. I learned that I can evaluate different pieces of work looking at a different perspective meaning from the role I selected. It gave me the opportunity to think outside the box. What I learned about others is that everyone has a story or issue and we as individuals must overcome those issues so we do not let the group down. What if I had an issue and did not do my part of writing up the evaluation for the group? You think group mates would be upset? Sure they would have been. So what did I do I pushed through to get it complete and in the mean time was suffering with my other assignments getting them complete. I am already having a tough time understanding how to complete these projects. It takes me hours to complete an assignment that is if I can get it but lately I have not been able to get it. I am very much frustrated but I have to pass this class because it was a sacrifice to spend the money to take these courses. I just cannot waste money that could have been used to buy food, gas or things for my children. I do not know what I could have done differently maybe push my group mates more but I did try and meet with one. I guess life was getting the best of them. I think the worst problem was getting all the information back from everyone completed. We wasted time trying to get all the information by not reading and following the directions carefully. Also, trying to get feedback from everyone it seemed like the whole group did not read each other’s evaluations to give better input without the instructor calling us out. Even then we still did not get everything we needed but we pushed on through anyway.

Webquest Evaluations

Wow my WebQuest individual evaluations went well but trying to get group input is not going so smoothly as I had hoped. We only have a day left well I only have a day left to complete this assignment. It is a little overwhelming trying to get information from others. I still think that it can work out if they give their input by first thing in the morning if not I will let the instructor know and drive on. I will complete the project to the best of my ability.

Wiki

OMG I have had the worst time with this course. Not to slight the instructor but it is all me LOL. I have to admit that I do not know squat about the computer as this course has taught me. I thought I knew a little but I guess my little is starting the computer, checking a little email, writing papers, and researching. I have found out very fast that that is nothing. I really hope this group project goes well. I do not mind writing and explaining the groups answers I just do not want it to be Karen's answers as it usually does. I hope everyone pulls their weight.

Technology

I have to say I am not having the greatest time in this class. It is very difficult to perform all these task. I am not that computer savvy at all but I have put forth an effort. I feel so lost and like I am sinking in quick sand. I have been trying to stay positive but OMG in need help in this class. I can not fail and I can not afford to loose all this money because I am self pay. I have to get it together but I am very much so overwhelmed.

Death

Death is something that everyone will experience at some point in their lives. This is something I know all to well. My father suffered from cancer for 19 yrs. and she passed in 2008. My mother at the time moved in with me and my family. She had no medical problems other than worried about her 12 grown children. Well in April my mother suffered a stroke that left her unable to speak well and walk. After two months in recovery she began to regain a little cognition but took a turn for the worst and had another stroke that took her life. It is very painful to deal with death but knowing that my parents loved me and I loved them gives me comfort. I have had a series of deaths in my family within the next two months after her death two cousins and my brother all out of the blue sort of speak. So where I stand today is in the position of healing.

Working in groups

Working in groups can be a task to deal with at times. It is very important that each group mate member have an open mind and a willingness to pull their weight. I have worked on a class project that my group mates did next to nothing on the project so I completed it alone. I did the research and wrote the ten page paper alone. Yes I got an A but it was way too much to handle on a short period of time and especially when you thought you had help on the project. So sometimes it can be a challenge. I have had great groupsmates as well on other projects/presentations. One thing that seems to happen a lot to me is that no one seems to want to be the leader of the group so it would be nice to have someone else be in charge instead of myself.

Overwhlemed

I am so grateful that I finally submitted my powerpoint of my snapshots. I thought I had completed the weeks assignment but little did I know I had over looked another assignment. The internet activity here I go again I do not know how I'm going to get all these things completed. I know I'm just venting right now but I really need help with keeping up with everything in my online courses. I will get myself together shortly but right now I can not catch my breath.

Oh my goodness I am having so much trouble with this igoogle situation. It is so frustrating to work on something for hours and nothing is working properly but I guess it is a part of learning. I am still excited to learn but boy is it taking me to another world!!!

Early Childhood Learning

My goals for this class is to get a better understanding in this field of study because it is very new to me. I know very little about early childhood other than observation from having my children in a child care center. I would like to start with the basics and really get a deeper understanding of what the needs of the children are as well as what is expected of a provider. Creating a blog was somewhat a challenge because I have never done this before but I hope things go smoothly. I think this course will be a challenge because its all brand new to me but I'm sure I will catch on fast. I'm usually a fast learner.
