Reflection
The most valuable knowledge I have gleaned from this course has been the practical skills and knowledge associated with applications such as Audacity and Photostory, both of which I have already implemented in my classroom to expand on existing technologies. While I enjoyed the class discussions and debates over technology use, I believe that there is no longer a question of "Should we use technology?" The debate should be over appropriate uses and specific program strengths. Training in 21st century technologies and Web 2.0 applications is as essential to student success in modern era as skills in math and writing. Thus, I believe it was the practical, hands on knowledge gained in programs that were immediately useful that I would consider the greatest assets to my education.

I definitely agree with you and the fact that there is no longer a questions of using technology. I feel that the only question is where, when, and how technology should be use in order to be effective
ReplyDeleteColby, I agree that the information we gained about different applications and their uses will be most beneficial for our teaching purposes. I hope I remember how to use all of it :)
