end of the semester

There was so much information jammed into this class this semester! I did learn of some new applications, such as Google calendar and Delicious. I also learned about a neat assistive software (My Bookshelf) that I will definitely use in my classroom one day. This information I will more than likely keep with me. Other information, such as digital storytelling, I will more than likely forget by the start of next semester. It was just too much in such a short period of time. I don't think we got enough time to really learn and digest a lot of the information.
Something big I learned...this class is not well tailored for the special ed major. Many of the projects were twice as hard to work around my major.
There was so much to this class. It's disappointing that I know I'm not getting as much out of it as I should be. I hope that down the road students have a better opportunity to really apply their learning in class. I especially hope someone thinks about how to better incorporate special ed majors.
