Finale

Gwen! Just want to let you know that I do have 7 posts on educational technology...one is a comment I responded to under the WebQuest post.

Hope this makes sense!

The End

This is my last post for EDTS, or at least I think it is. I want to reflect upon what I've gained from this course. I think in a previous post I talked about how I'm glad that Naz requires me to take this class or else I otherwise would not. Technology intimidates me. I'm glad I had to take it because I have learned so much.

My favorite assignments, because I had the most fun doing them and because I think students could get the most out of them, are the Non Linear PowerPoint and the Podcast. I LOVE that podcast! Fun, informational, and it builds on researching, revising & editing, speaking & presenting, writing, and possibly group work sills. I find the Non Linear PowerPoint helpful because it provides a fun format for teachers to use when presenting multi-faceted information. It also teaches students to look for links and models to students the thought-process that goes into organizing complex ideas.

I've gained much from this class because I know what I was taught here will effectively transpire into my classroom.
