I have learned several things in this class. I have learned that technology can be very useful in the classroom, especially with my students. I have learned that I can use photostories to create social stories for my students. I have also learned creative ways to use blogs and wikis to allow my students to practice certain skills. I have learned that there are a lot of reasons why teachers may not use technology in their classrooms, and that it does take some time and effort to use technology effectively within the classroom. I came to this class with a very realistic view of how things are in the world, but this class challenged us to not look at the way things are, but the way they should be. Teachers should try to go above and beyond for their students to make a difference in their lives. Everything is not cut and dry, and sometimes teachers need to get outside of their comfort zones to teach students effectively.
