This course has really opened my eyes to the rapidly changing world of technology. There are so many different opportunities in implementing technology into the classrooms and the world of education! I know I don't know everything there is to know, but this class definitely inspires me to learn more. I want to learn more about the technologies I have learned in this class, such as Wiki's, blogs, creating an ePortfolio and programs like JING and what else technology has to offer. It also encourages me to take more technology courses to learn what I can from them. It seems easier to me to learn from a course like this one, than to go sit through a professional development class through our district.
Google was probably my biggest Aha. I had no idea how much Google had to offer! I was so impressed that I will be switching my browser page over to Google. It just seems more organized and offers more options than Yahoo, which is what I use now. I am familiar with Google earth, but really had no idea of all the others. Very exciting!! I have started out in technology with PowerPoint's, web searching, making videos, and emailing. Much of the basics, but I really am excited about learning much more and incorporating more into my classes as a teacher. Technology has always been important but I haven't always used it like I should and plan to incorporate a lot more into my career as a teacher and future librarian and in my personal life. Thank you for such a great class with lots of inspiring ideas!
That's the way I feel about Google! I love it!
