I feel that I have grown as an educator since first entering into my first Educational Technology class six weeks ago. I entered knowing a little bit about technology and I left with so much knowledge on how to engage and interact with my students within the classroom. I learned more than just Google, Twitter and Facebook. I learned how to blog and post one live. I had always wanted to write a blog, not just read one, and now I can!
It had been a few years since I had tweeted on Twitter and now I can do more than just tweet. I participated in a twitterchat for the first time during class and created a personal twitter account that I can use to communicate with and follow other educators around the world.
I really enjoyed learning about Flipgrid during our 6 weeks together. I can see myself utilizing this really cool tool in my classroom. I can post a video or a picture and have students respond to my post. I can use it as an assessment tool or as a great classroom opener.
I really enjoyed how the class was always interactive and hands-on! I really felt calm and not at all rushed when working on assignments or in-class activities. I really feel that this was due to the calm demeanor of the instructor, Kim Darche. She was always patient with me and her other students in the class. She is very knowledgeable and shared her insights and experiences with us. She showed us things that work and don't work. She really put us on the right path for continuing our education and shared how we can use each tool and each activity inside and outside of the classroom. I'm so glad that I had this class and I can't wait to put everything into practice!
