My Final Reflection of EDM 310 during Spring 2014
When I consider the times I have heard people reflecting it seems that it is usually at a funeral. People are remembering good and bad times, things they should have, could have or would have done differently. It is a horrible time to reflect because there is nothing they can do to change any of those situations they might have handled differently. So I am grateful that Dr. Strange is encouraging me to reflect on the things I have done over the past 4 months. I am glad he asked me to consider my attitude and commitment about this class and all it entails. I am changed because I have to take responsibility for the good, the bad and the ugly. This time of reflection is a tool to let me know how to handle situations in a way that brings positive results even if the first try is not perfect. He is teaching me to reflect while I am able to adjust my methods and improve instead of looking back and wishing I had done things differently.
Reflection helps us know whether or not we are headed in the right direction.

Project #16
Group Las Vegas' iBook
Project #16 came and went quickly and quietly. Our group, Las Vegas, decided to make our theme roller coasters because EDM 310 is not a slow and steady type of experience. One minute you find yourself on top of the world because of something new you have learned or accomplished, and the next minute you are at a low point because you can not quite figure out how to post these new ideas onto the internet. With our theme in mind, and Dr. Strange's Checklist in our drives, we began creating our first iBook.
,br /> We included our sentence videos, book trailers and passion videos. We were proud of these accomplishments because they were the first of many milestones. Our favorite blog posts, as well as our video book commentary are also included. Trying to edit the video book commentary from 9 minutes down to 2 minutes was interesting. How do you cut out so much dialouge and still have a piece that makes sense? We did our best. We hope that everyone who watches our iBook enjoys the fruit of our labor.
This project was the most collaborative of all EDM 310 projects. While other assignments required us to communicate, this project required us to work together. This project could not have been completed successfully with out each of us bringing some time and creativity to the plate. This project is completed, but it will be a long time before I forget the group that put it together.
It is well said that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. I like to think that what happens in EDM does not stay in EDM. What happens in EDM transforms minds, opinions, classrooms, and people. This project and this class have helped break down brick walls.
