Meaningful Learning

In technology, there are many tools that go hand and hand.  Each tool helps you get a meaningful understanding of the technology world.  Many students know about the ability that can be utilized but we as teachers can guide them.  The technology tools can be helpful in classroom lessons and helping students understand.  There were many tools that I utilized in this classroom that I had never used before.  For instance, blogging was such a neat tool that I learned.  It was interesting to make a virtual ePortfolio.  The different websites and blogs were helpful in making a ePortfolio.  I know learning all the assessments will be useful in my career as a teacher.  I can take this knowledge and pass it on to my students.  The integrating technology into the curriculum in this class is a great idea.  I feel that it relates to the course and makes the assessments more meaningful.  This is a prime example of learning and learning how to utilize technology in our curriculum.

I believe taking this course was the bet thing to do for my career.  Not only did it educate me in integrating technology into the curriculum but also educate me about technology.  I think that it will make all the difference to my employer and my classroom.  There are many web tools that I was able to learn and utilize.  I learned how to make a blog, become a blogger, and create lesson plans with technology.  The knowledge that I am walking away with is exciting.  There is so many tools that can be explored through the virtual world.  I have never been a computer person and I always dreaded working on the computer but not anymore.  I am glad that I took this course.
