I'm finished, but not without reservations. I enjoyed completing the concept map, and I found that I had very little trouble with the construction of it, but the Glogster assignment was very difficult for me. First of all, everytime I tried to log back into my account it wouldn't let me. I had to recreate a new password each time I wanted to log in. The editing format was a bit confusing because the tutorials were done on a slightly different version than the one I was using. That might not seem like an issue to most folks, but for me (who is pretty much technology illiterate) I had real trouble with it. I do see where I can use the Glogster for my classroom use. Not only could I create engaging assignments for the students to use, but my students can also use it as an alternative to a powerpoint presentation. Making the the movie in Animoto was fun, but I'm not sure that I've uploaded it to where it will work properly when someone clicks on the play button. It worked at home, but not at my school. Maybe that is an issue with the computers? I liked Voicethread, but I want to have more time to learn it better so that my students can apply their voices to a presentation.
