When completing this assignment I put forth a good amount of effort. I have never been very good at working with computers so I was a little worried when trying to complete this assignment. However, while completing my collage I found it to be a lot of fun. One major frustration I had was getting my pictures to show up. I used the site “Vuvox” and they have a cool feature called a hot-spot which zooms in on a picture and gives a small explanation of why I used this picture. I thought this was a cool feature because it gave narration to my collage as you scroll through the pictures. However, for some reason the zoomed in picture on half of my collage pictures were just a black screen. I had no idea how to fix this and I tried and tried with no avail. Finally, after a long time of fooling around with the editing tools I finally figured it out. This was crazy frustrating but now that my collage is complete I think it was worth it.

Digital Autobiography
I believe that this assignment has a lot of value. After I figured out the hot-spot problem, it really wasn’t that hard to complete. I believe it gives my professor a great picture of who I am and what I like to do. I had a lot of fun doing this assignment and now that I am done with it I can show my friends and family it as well. Now that I know how to make my own digital collage I can make more and show others such how to make their own collage.
After completing this task I think that it may have a small impact on my future teaching. I plan on going into special education so my students probably will not be able to complete this assignment on their own. However, I believe that making a collage would be an awesome project that I could help my students do. With this collage they can show their classmates all the fun things they like doing, as well as showing their parents the work they can accomplish on the computer.
My reaction to this project is that I really liked it. I’ve always been a little hesitant when it comes to computer projects. I never really like working with computers too much and in some of my computer classes I had trouble completing assignments. As I progress through my school career I now see that I can no longer avoid working with computers. I realize that this important tool not only makes our lives a little easier through all the things it can do but it also can help students learn and succeed in their own schooling careers. I am very happy that I got to make my own digital collage. It was a lot of fun, enabled me to tell my classmates and professor a little more about me and now I have a collage of my own to show my friends and family.
