Reflection

1. In general, what did you like most about MMP?
2. What did you hate most about MMP?
3. Write five things you learned from the MMP that you have not learned before (including the classroom presentations).
4. Write the three hardest challanges/problems you have faced in MMP.
5. Would you recomment MMP to other students? Why/why not?

1. In general the thing I liked most about MMP was finding out what a voice thread is. Before I had never heard of a voice thread and now I have and not only do I know what it is, but I know how to make one.

2. The thing I hated most about MMP was having, what I felt, such little time to complete it. I feel because we all came into this project not knowing what to do we could have used a little more time to figure it out and complete it.

3. Five things I learned from the MMP that I have not learned before is one, what a voice thread is, two, how to make a voice thread, three, in presenting the voice thread I was told that I need to be more clear and louder when I present and that I seemed shy even though I was not, four, I learned a little bit about other MMP such as where to go to learn about them and make them, and five, I learned more about the smoking ban and the other topics that the other groups presented on.

4. The three hardest challenges/problems that we faced in MMP were figuring out what a voice thread was exactly, figuring out how to make one, and finding the right material to put onto the voice thread. We had a really hard time figuring out how to upload videos and we never figured out how to upload voice clips.

5. I would actually recomment MMP to other students, because now that we have done this project, I know what a voice thread is, where to go to make one, and how to make one. From this project we also recieved links that we can go to so that we can try to make one of the other MMPs. For me, as an elementary education major, it should be helpful knowing about the book site.

* Do you believe in the necessity of this project for your future goals? How did you feel when you were first introduced to the project? What are your concerns about the project (grouping, time, schemata, etc.)?

No, I do not believe this project is needed for my future goals. I do not believe I will ever have to do, use or make a voicethread ever again. I do not even know what a voicethread is as of now. When I was first introduced to the project I was honestly worried about it.
At first I was glad that we were going to do a group project and not another paper, but now that I know a little bit more about it, I am worried it will be worse than writing a paper.
My concerns for the project are partially the fact that we are working in a group, have no idea as of now what our project is that we are doing and the technology to accomplish it. I am worried that some group members might not do their part and I will get stuck with it. Another concern is the fact that we don't even know what a voicethread is or what we are doing or how to make it. I've never even heard of a voicethread before. Therefore, I am worried we will have a hard time accomplishing this project with technology when we don't even know what it is.

* "Two heads are better than one" - Alan Hirvela

To me, this quote is saying that two brains are better than one. I believe this quote means that when you have two people working together, you have twice as much knowledge, therefore it is better than someone working alone. I believe this quote could also mean that having two points of view is better than just having one point of view. It could also mean that having two opinions is better than just one opinion. Overall, two heads, two brains, or two people are better than one.
