Week Five

Well this is it. I have to say, I've learned a lot in this class. I've also realized that there is a lot to know in the field of technology and it's constantly changing. I want to be involved in it though because if used creatively and correctly, technology is very beneficial in the education world. Computers can provide motivation and fun for students as well as strengthening learning opportunities. They offer a variety of tools that can successfully assist and guide kids as they learn and experience a wealth of information. Teachers also benefit from computers. During this class, I've learned how to use the internet more effectively by way of RSS Feeds, open sources, podcasts and the invisible web. I'm looking forward to creating and using scavenger hunts and webquests in my curriculum. I've also become more knowledgeable about ways of communication through blogs and wikis. There are many new possibilities that await the next school year and those to follow.
