Course Reflection

I feel that this class and the work that I have done, have taught me a lot about what I can do with technology in my classroom.  I have learned to pay extra attention to ease of use when creating tech based lessons for my students.  I have learned to allow myself time to create quality resources that my students can learn from and I have learned to really search for new things that I can use.

I was forced to think a lot about what my students can handle when it comes to technology.  My students are  very young and I get nervous for them and their skills with technology.  I want the material they use to be appropriate and thought provoking and I don't want anything to get in the way of their learning.

I feel that several of my professional goals were met or that I came close to meeting them.  I am very excited that I was able to create resources for my students that I will without a doubt incorporate into my teaching.  I think that the thinking I did and the resources I created were well put together and I feel that they are things that my students will benefit greatly from.

My new goals are to continue to use this program as well as resources and my own time to explore technology on a deeper level in order to bring better educational experiences for my students.
