Reflection

I definitely learned alot in this class. Coming in I was nervous about technology because I felt as if I had only used it for communication, everyday things such as editing pictures, and to write papers. Not only did I learn how to use alot more technology through this course, but I learned that the technology I have been using for a long time has applications in the classroom as well. I think the technology become comfortable with will help me reach students of the Net Generation.
As an aspiring English teacher, I was afraid there would not be many applications appropriate for my subject. I now know that there are many programs that can enhance the English classroom, including Inspiration, Movie Maker, Visual Thesaurus, and Publisher.
Going forward, I am excited to integrate Web 2.0 technologies, such as Wiki, blogging, and new applications into my future teaching.
