final thoughts

I had no idea that I would learn to enjoy this class so much! I have learn more than I could have ever imagined. I was basically computer illiterate before this class and know I feel completely confident in my abilities to use technology in my future classroom. My favorite things were the blog, website, video and the inspiration diagram. I know I will use all these things in my classroom and hope to be able to share all my new ideas an creations with the teachers I will be working with.

website

I enjoyed making my classroom website. It was very easy to use and fun to use my creativity and think outside the box. I know this website will be a very helpful tool for me in the future. I will be aware of how to easily set up a website for my future class and I am grateful to know how to do this. I know it will make my future profession flow smoother.

wikis

My favorite part of the wikis were the webquests. I felt that these provided the most help for me as a future educator. Most of the webquests seemed very thought out and detailed. I still think I takes time to find a very good one, however, it is worth it. The wikis help lesson this time spent searching by looking at the compiled webquests from my partners. I think using a wiki would be very beneficial for a group of teachers teaching the same grade.

TN web

I loved this activity! I am considering purchasing this program because I can just see all the different uses for this program in my future classroom. It was very easy to use and I am sure students would enjoy making these webs as well as view other people's web projects. This is another tool that I am excited to play with more.

mid semester thoughts

I was very hesitant as to what to think about this class at the beginning of this semester. However, I have learned so many interesting activities and ideas using the computer. There were many questions that I had that have been answered through this class. Honestly, I very much enjoy this class now and am excited to see what more I am going to learn throughout the rest of this class.
