Using Vuvox

I put  in an ample amount of effort in completing my digital autobiography. I made an attempt to utilize different tools that Vuvox offered--including cropping, resizing, adding customized text, adding hot spots, and uploading background music.  In order the make the most of this assignment, first I watched three different instructional videos to make sure I was taking advantage of all the unique options in designing my slide show.  I found this assignment very valuable because I realized how easy designing digital collages can be.  With little instruction from my professor, I assumed this assignment would be nearly impossible to complete considering my lack of technological skills. I was surprised that Vuvox offered instructional videos and step-by-step directions along the process of publishing my collage.  As a future teacher, this assignment helped me build my confidence in my technology-related skills.  The next assignment I will not be as hesitant or pessimistic to begin.  In my classroom, I will not be as reluctant to test out new technology because it might be easier than I imagine.  I could even share a similar autobiography with my students at the beginning of the year so they get to know my identity as not only their teacher but also an ordinary, relatable friend.
