The Technology World

As this class is coming to an end, I have taken a moment to reflect on everything I have learned. From tweeting to editing pictures, I have learned a great deal of life long resources to use in my future classrooms. Not only have I begun to think of ways to incorporate what I have learned with teaching, I also use these skills in my everyday life. I feel that the most important thing I learned this semester is the idea that technology is growing at a rapid pace and can provide you with more than you could ever imagine.

First off, technology is everywhere. I have been so surprised at the amount of information I am able to access from anywhere with an Internet base. Not only that, but the use of cellphones as well. Just through simple text messaging, a connection is formed between your phone and the web.

Secondly, it blows my mind that we are able to do so much with technology. However, the vast majority of our population is not educated properly when it comes to it. All of these tools we have explored in our class have been learned through a simple how to wiki and the task of exploring it ourselves. I think that everyone should be required to learn about the technology available to us, especially teachers.

I have truly enjoyed taking this class and although there were some aspects of the class that were hard to keep up with due to my busy schedule, such as blogging, tweeting, and reading other blogs, I was still able to become familiar with what is out there. I cannot wait to incorporate these skills into my own classrooms and share what I have learned with others.
