Magazine Cover Reflection

     I felt that this assignment and project was an extremely creative idea to have students complete because it left so much room for individual interpretation. At first I was skeptical and thought I would dread having to spend so much time completing the assignment, but the more involved I got in creating the cover the more I began to enjoy myself. This activity let you create something completely based on you and what you would want others to know about you if you were to be Teacher of The Year, and honestly, we should all think that would be pretty great one day. I think I automatically assume I'm going to dislike an assignment because I'm not very 'project' savy', however when I get the hang of it I always enjoy it. I also really liked that we were given visual examples as to what we were expected to come up with, because I had no clue where to start before seeing them and looking to see how they handled the project. I will definitely keep this assignment in mind for future use and reference. In the future I could se using this project as an assignment to help students understand how to use different parts of technology not only to create papers and words, but also pictures and personalization. In correspondence with the ISTE-NETS Standards, I felt that my cover and information best related to the first standard, Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity, specifically, C. Promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes. I chose this standard because this is pretty much what I had to do to create the project assigned. All in all I enjoyed the project and would like to do more creative things like this in the future.
