This class has taught me a lot about technology. I liked just figuring new things out and discovering how to use several different tools rather than being taught step by step. When I have my own classroom I plan on making my students little technology gurus. They will know how to use all the tools that we have learned about and will be able to show their families and friends how to use them too. My favorite thing that I have learned about that I truly think I will utilize in my life whether I become a teacher or not is all of the little in's and out's about google sites. I loved learning about google docs, google presentations, google sites, google calendar and much more. It is so useful and I don't think a lot of people realize that you can collaborate so easy when writing papers or creating presentations through gmail. I really liked the UEN scavenger hunt because we had to figure out how to use UEN and it made me realize how much it has to offer students, and teachers. I loved looking at all of the lesson plans and actually thinking about having my own class and how I would incorporate it into my lessons; it made teaching 'real.' When thinking about becoming a teacher, I didn't really think about technology or how I would use it in my class. But this course has changed my view and perspective about teaching. Kids love technology so it is really important to utilize in our class. If kids want a job when they get older they really need to know how to use technology and improve it to make the world a more functional place. Thanks for truly instilling in me the spirit of discovery this semester, it has been a joy and pleasure to be in your class!
