Final Thoughts

This class is defiantly not what I expected when I registered for this class. I was expecting there to be lessons on Excel, Word, and Power Point, but that is not what I learned! I really enjoyed being able to broaden my technology information! I know many of these things I have learned will stick with me into my teaching career. I also hope to be able to continue learning new technology as it arises. Here are some of the things I have enjoyed about this class.

1. Google Options!
Everyone LOVES Google now! There are so many options available to students, teachers, the business world, EVERYONE! The best part about it is that it's free! I like the fact that our blogs were included with Google and it was easy to keep up with my assignments with Google Reader. Also I will now be an active user of Google Docs in my classrooms and in my classes to come in college.

2. I loved being able to watch the how-to videos in class on each assignment. Being able to see what I can do outside of the classroom with each project makes me want to actually use it more. With Blogs and Podcast, I now know that I can share my thoughts with the world from my desk top.

3. I wish we could have gotten to Comments4Kids! The video on that seemed so amazing, and it's something I really would have loved to gotten to! But being able to look at other students blogs and read their opinions and ideas on the same projects we were working on made this class "real." Instead of being locked away in a computer lab with just our class I was able to communicate with students in different classes! I loved it!

I really enjoyed this class and took a lot away from it! Thank you!
