Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Reflection

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
            Scalar was one of the hardest projects that I have had to do so far in my college career. Since I have never worked with scalar before it took a while for me to get use to the program, and I still feel like I do not know how to work scalar fully. It took a long time to figure out how to put pictures on each page and in the places that one wants them to go. I did not like that you could not upload any size picture that you wanted, with made using this program even harder, since I am not tech savvy at all. Scalar is also really time consuming for it took a long time finding pictures that are CC images, for there are not a lot of images of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone that are CC. The rubric that I used did not copy on to scalar the way it should of, it looks different, so the copying and pasting was a problem sometimes also. The last problem that I see with scalar is that not everyone has access to a computer, so this may have to be done at school in the library during class time.
            I did like that scalar lets students learn in a multimodal way for one can use videos and pictures to teach. Scalar does offer a way for students to interact with technology and a different way to do homework. I like that students can comment on scalar and see what other students have written. Having students watch videos on every page lets them learn from someone other than the teacher. I could see students really liking scalar and it would let them learn writing through technology, something that this new generation is all about. Getting to teach a narrative module online is pretty cool, for when I was in high school technology was barely being used. Even though it takes a while to find all the material for each page I can see myself using scalar in my future classroom, for it is a fun way to teach a writing assignment.
