The past eight weeks seem to have flown by! I have learned so much from the course content and feel more open minded. When I signed up to take the course, it was for reasons none other than renewing my teaching license. I enjoyed new programs, and technology, but find it frustrating and a little scary at times. I was hoping the course would "enlighten" me a bit.
I think it is safe to say this course has done more than enlighten. It has opened my eyes to things I didn't think would be possible in MY class. I now know how to use new tools to excite and communicate with even my young students. I know how to find resources and professional tools for myself and for organizing my class. I feel less spooked and more eager to move forward with technology that my school system is beginning to implement. I know the journey toward online learning in schools will be a little easier for me.
