Looking back at this course, I learned many interesting and new things to do with technology in my classroom. Podcasting, youtube, and google docs are three things that I am planning on integrating into my teaching next year. I know that it will be difficult since we are firewalled from just about everything at AHS. However, I have become quite proficient at using the Zamzar converter so I think I will be able to work around the system.
Even though I was against it in the beginning, I am starting to see the value of Twitter. I may try to integrate it into some of my lessons. Obviously, I cannot require students to use it, especially since most of them do not have computers. However, I can post a topic for discussion and see what others on the internet have to say on the matter. After I get some feedback, then I can share that with my class and see how our deiscussion evolves from there.
While I still would not say that I am proficient at utilizing this technology, I would say that I am no longer functionally illiterate at it either. I am a work in progress and overall I really enjoyed this course.
