If there is one thing I've learned about taking this course, it is that I am not as good with technology as I thought! I have learned so much about so many different tools that you can use inside and outside of the classroom, and I now feel much more knowledgeable about technology use.
Overall, I really enjoyed all of the projects we have done in this class. Most of them can definitely be used in an elementary school classroom and for personal use! I love taking pictures with my friends and having them as memories, so the projects I enjoyed the most were Picasa, Glogster, iMovie, etc.
For the classroom, I really liked all of the Google docs. programs, the interactive spreadsheet, and the wikis! I didn't have a Google account prior to this class, and I am so glad I do now. I didn't realize that there are SO many things you can do through Google - and I will definitely be using it often through my career.
I even enjoyed the simple things we did - like blogging, and inserting pictures and links into our various projects. I feel much more comfortable with new programs now, and no longer hesitate to be creative when working with new sites.
This has been such a fun class, and it has provided me with the basic knowledge that I didn't have before about technology use. It is becoming so important these days to incorporate technology into the classroom, and I now feel as though I have the proper tools and knowledge to do so.
