From+The+Heart

Well were can I begin with talking about how amazing this class had been. It kind of hard but I guess I will start from the beginning. When I first started this class I did have my doubts about technology being integrated into a classroom. I thought //I don't think that technology should replace the teacher.// I didn’t understand the ways to integrate technology into the class room. Now however I get it. The best example to show this is I am taking a class this semester were I had to teach a health lesson to my classmates. I decided to do Earth Day since it happened to be the day before my presentation. I ended up making a jeopardy game because I had learned how to while in this class. I ended up impressing most of my classmates and my teacher. I realized then that technology could be used to enhance a classroom and even make it more fun in the process.

I learned that in fact I can be creative with teaching and also be relevant in teaching through the use of technology. I also figured out that I am more likely now going to be using a wiki-page when I start teaching because I can see the good effects of having one. I realized that it could be used as a tool of communication to my students and parents. I also learned that technology does have a role in today classroom and can be used to enhance the learning of the students. One of the biggest things that I learned through this class was I need to be able to stay relevant with technology so that I can stay in touch with my students. I hope that other teachers can take this class and get the same realization out of it. That there are lots of tools out there for us to use, some of good and some maybe ok but you have to figure out to how to use them to your advantage.
