I feel as though this course has helped me by teaching me many skills and enlightening me to many ideas. It taught me about various methods of instruction like Constructivism and the direct method. Because of this I feel as though I better understand many articles I read on educational issues. I picked up many different skills in technology I can incorporate in a classrooms. Things like Microsoft Front Page and Inspiration were technologies I never tried using before and now I feel as though I have a much more solid base in these technologies. I also learned things about technologies I already used that I didn't know. I am much more adept at Microsoft Movie Maker due to the Digital Media project. I also feel as though the course got me thinking about various ways to apply technology to my teaching. When I play games of any sort I consider how can this be applied to teaching? I also learned how to better cite my sources on papers.

Going forward into teaching I would like to see if I can find more technologies that are known for their effective application in the classroom so that I can incorporate them into my own teaching.
