Module 6- Week 1

I enjoy creative projects, because of this I have become interested in graphic design and computer art.  I have created many invitations and brochures for my school.  I feel very comfortable using many design programs.  Since I feel comfortable in my graphic skills, I wanted to build my skills and confidence in using Notebook for Smart Board.  I often find useful slides on Smart Board Exchange, however sometimes the objectives of those slides do not match mine.  I want to be able to make my own activities to enrich lessons with the use of my Smart Board.  I found editing and making changes were very user friendly.  I also was happy to see all the options that were available to the user.  I began to explore the files in Notebook.  I liked how many tools are made for educators to use.  Many of the resources in Notebook looked very interactive.  I can see my students enjoying these tools and gaining a better understanding of the material because of the visuals provided.  I am looking forward to exploring more of the Notebook files next week.  

Here is an example of an invitation I made for a school event.
