I agree with many of my classmates that although this course got off to a somewhat rocky start, I came away from it with a plethora of new technological knowledge. This is probably the first technology course I have taken where everything seemed to be at the appropriate level. So often, technology courses will re-teach old programs like Excel and PowerPoint-programs with which I am already quite familiar. During this course, everything we were introduced to was new to me. I was challenged, and sometimes intimidated, by every project-but I became a better teacher because of it.
I am going to take away a great deal from this course. I am now a blogger, which I never was before. I am also able to create digital stories and use Google Docs. I learned about Glogs and Noodle Tools and all sorts of other useful programs that I can bring into my classroom. I really feel motivated to bring more technology into my classroom, and make the most of the programs that are out there. I've already had conversations with our tech. department and media center specialist about trying to help students and staff gain access to some of these terrific programs. Overall, this was a very educational course, and I am happy that I was able to experience it.
P.S. The food at every class was amazing! I eat better on Thursdays than I do any other night of the week!
