In the course of this class, I have found the blog section to be the most helpful to me in using technology to engage with the students. I am going to make sure that the blog will bring all the students into the class and will allow me to get information out to students who were not in class that day. Technology does not have to be flashy and time consuming, but can and should give us the ability to reach out to students who need more reinforcement, or who need to catch up.

I have really enjoyed taking this course over the past month. I feel that I have taken the time to look at the different types of technology teachers can use. I have always thought technology was going to make its way in to the classroom to enhance instruction, but I never really gave thought to the different ways that could take place

Before this class, I was relatively uneducated about different forms of technology.
Through this course, I will be able to enhance my teaching as well as
the learning of my students. This will open up the possibilities for my
students to interact on the internet in a positive way.

I signed up for this course because I was interested in earning credits
and I figured it was a good idea to become more familiar with the
web…. wow though, I had no idea there was so much about the web that I
didn’t know about. It is kind of scary to think that if you don’t pay
attention or try some of these tools out, you can quickly be left in the
dust. I am so glad I had some exposure to these tools through the class.

Wow…this course has exposed me to a lot of things I didn’t know I was
missing! Considering I never even opened up a new Tab, I have a much
better understanding of the tools that are available to me. I also have
a much better understanding of computer jargon. I just thought Wikipedia
was a cute way to mean “wicked” plus encyclopedia. Obviously that was not the origination- and
now I know why!

“Oh my goodness! I feel as if I tapped into a wealth of information! This is just WILD! I am so excited about the endless possibilities.”

I really wanted to give feedback on this course, too, more than
anything. I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed the class, and
thought it was both worthwhile and enjoyable. You were great at giving
us all valuable and applicable? information. Thank you.
