I believe I spent more time just brainstorming ideas on how I wanted to have my logo done compared to the time I spent using the multiple websites to create a few draft designs. I began using Logojoy since that was the website I explored in our last class. I liked that website because it was very user friendly and most of the designs that were provided after entering the text I wanted to use looked very modern. But then I found out I had to pay. I then moved to Logomaker. This website was very easy to use as well and I really liked my logo but after saving it on the website it told me that Logomaker will only save it for 5 days unless I purchase it. I then moved into checking out Canvas. I went to this website after I looked at Matt’s logo, so I thought I’d give it a try. After choosing the layout and style for my logo I really enjoyed using the search engine to look up graphics and I again came up with a logo that I was happy with for now. As of right now I am hoping to receive some feedback from the classmates and see how my logo will develop. I also am still unsure of which website to use. Is that a bad thing? And will I have to pay for this? You would think that all the thousands of dollars that we are paying for this program we would have some sort of voucher to a website to make a logo for free with awesome tools to create it. That’s another hurdle for me at the moment.

So far my thoughts on how I deliver my content in my classroom in regards to transliteracy has changed. But honestly that’s just my thoughts. My thoughts over the summer have been very overwhelmed because I do think and believe that students should be able to read, write and interact across different platforms using technology, but the idea of how I am going to do that has been overwhelming. There are so many things that I want to try that I feel that I don’t know how to begin or how to introduce them. I know that we have been exposed to different tools but maybe on how to integrate them in an appropriate manner has been a little unclear. At least to me though. I have begun though to have students watch videos at home or outside the classroom of the Math content that we are covering in class. They are to take Cornell Note style notes as they watch the videos. My goal is to have students use these notes while they are working on their own at home and in the classroom to help each other out with assignments and projects. Little things like these are activities that I hope I get to have students create on their own later in the school year. It seems that students already know how to work through certain google applications but I hope to have them use other tools that aren’t always used in their other classrooms. That will hopefully open up their options of digital tools that are out there that they may use. I think that we teachers have to be able to appropriately introduce digital tools into the classroom. As I Have mentioned before I sometimes feel overwhelmed at all the tools that we have looked at in class and if I have felt like that I can only imagine how my students will feel if I try to do more then what they can handle. I think that if lessons are scaffolded while taking into consideration our population of students then our students will be better off in learning on how to use the digital tools we ask them to use.
