Module 8 Reflection

 * Summarize your learning for this term.

How will you use the knowledge you have constructed to improve your use of technology for learning in your class and for your own personal and professional development?**

I have already started incorporating some of the cool things that I have learned in this class into my classroom. I have started making SMARTBoard presentations and Google Apps tests etc. Thanks to the link for SMARTBoards there are some really cool lessons already designed. What a wonderful resource! I used Google Apps in my other technology class for our project too.

Personally, I will continue to seek ways to use the technologies that are available to make more meaningful and lasting educational moments for the students. Their lives and mine are integrated with technologies that are ever evolving! I hope to stay abreast of the new technologies that benefit students in the classroom. It's tough sometimes when there isn't any money in the district. But, so many resources are available online and in libraries! Learning is fun. Technology is great even when you are figuring it out together as a class. We all learn from each other. I so enjoy these moments.

Professionally, I hope to become a resource for other educators. I may even seek another position more involved with technology than the one I currenty have. I have enjoyed making webpages for a local company that just being in this class led me to do. This experience will lead to another one as I progress through the program. I am keeping my eyes open as well as looking for options!
