June 9, 2009 Class Review
This was the last class of Foundations of Technology in the Classroom. It seems like not too long ago we were entering class for the first time wondering what the course would be like. Now looking back, this class was well worth the time put in. Being unfamiliar with many aspects of technology I had my hesitations, I feel more comfortable with technical applications that can be used in a classroom and different free online materials that would enhance my lessons.
In the last class we all presented our technology enhanced lessons. I found all of the lessons interesting and wish we had more time to see them in additional detail. This has been the theme for the entire five weeks of this class. I have learned so much from the opinions and contributions of my peers. I will miss that regular interaction; however, perhaps technology, with its ease of communication, promises to allow us to exchange ideas over greater distance. Not seeing or being with someone is not an excuse to not keep in touch.
Indeed, technology can increase our abilities to achieve if we apply them correctly. I am glad to know new ways of doing this. That having been said, I still look forward to turning off my cell phone and spend the night camping under the stars. Thanks all, keep well.
