Oh my goodness.. I completely forgot about my journal posting for last week! In my defense, my house flooded (3/4 of the flooring destroyed), so I've been working on getting that fixed. PLUS, I got engaged last weekend, so I've been a mess starting to get things planned.
As far as my project goes, I feel very confident. I have already shared the tutorials with the staff at my school, and it has been very well-received! My LSTC actually posted a link to the tutorials on the county's LSTC message board, and my TST shared the link with another school that she works with. Teachers at my school have expressed how helpful the videos are, and one teacher very excitedly came up to me to tell me that she FINALLY learned how to create a table! I'd say that's a success.
To determine the successfulness of the project, though, I really need to send a follow-up survey to the staff, similar to the survey I sent at the beginning of the project to assess the needs of the school.
I did, however, find out this week that OnMyCalendar is changing pieces of their interface shortly, so I will have to re-do some of my videos to make them continue to be relevant. I guess that's a fact of life in instructional design; just as you feel confident in your training, something is bound to change that impacts your instruction. That just means I need to stay up-to-date and continue learning on a daily basis.
On the Dress Rehearsal day, I really enjoyed the time we spent having the 2nd timers look at our projects and give feedback. I had some great feedback and some even better suggestions, so it was quite the enjoyable experience! I felt even more confident after that experience that I had actually created something useful.
All in all, the past few weeks have been very successful in terms of my project! I'm looking forward to showing off my finished project tomorrow!!
