I have truly enjoyed this course. I think it has opened up my eyes to how creative you can be in the classroom and how engaging you can get the students. I really struggle with incorporating technology into my teaching and I have gotten better over the last few years. This class has really encouraged me and made me more confident to include technology into everything I do.
Having conversations with others in the class too and viewing their blogs has been insightful too. Reading the other students blogs have really been helpful and neat to see what types of things and activities they do within their classroom. Allowing us to communicate openly has been great and I truly rely on different opinions of others in the class too because they are beneficial and good.
I will take away the ability to use technology within the classroom. I'm anxious to move forward this school year and create some new use of technology within my room.
I have also learned so much from this course. Technology can sometimes be scary. This class has lessened my fear. I can't believe how easy it is to blog! I always thought it was for people who love to spend all their time on the computer but it is truly something everyone can do and I know my students will love it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything you said. I often use technology however I feel that the technology I use is entry-level. I always wanted to learn things such as creating blogs, wikis, etc., I never had any resources that could help me with this. Our school has a website and webpage set up for our school but have never once showed us how to set them up. My next project will be learning how to edit videos from the flip camera.
