Week 5

Working on these in-class assignments has been great in reducing the work to be done at home and in allowing us to help and learn from each other while learning about all the available features and short cuts for using them efficiently. It certainly is a learning curve from the first to second time you use a program, and having this experience will certainly increase my confidence in using the program again in the future. While I liked the group/pod aspect, I was so absorbed in my part of the assignment that I admittedly wasn't overly involved in the other parts, though I guess that's part of group work! There just isn't enough time to learn everything about every program. I did like working with Clicker 5, and can definitely see how it can be used differently for some different levels of writers who have a hard time with traditional pencil and paper writing.
I am glad we had a chance to go discuss the final case study assignment, as I had some questions. The sample presentation we watched was really useful.
