Week 14 Reflection-Katie

The material presented in this class has been a mixture between review and new items. I think the most helpful skill I will take away from the class is how to operate programs such as audacity and photostory and how to use a wiki. It can be difficult to break down technology for young children sometimes but I think by becoming familiar with the programs I will be able to do so now for my class. Learning how to use a wiki will be helpful later on when creating a website for my classroom to share with coworkers or parents at home. Also knowing that websites like that are out there is a great search tool for new ideas for my own lessons. The most important thing I will take away is that technology is changing quickly and we need to keep up in order to better educate our students and prepare them for a technology rich future.
