So today is our last day of class and I just wanted to write this blog to reflect on all that we have done this year. I'm thinking back to our first assignment the Picassa web album and how hard it seemed at the time and now I just laugh. I thought I was pretty tech savvy, but there was so much that this class taught me. I'm pretty sure I won't use everything we did in this class, but there are some things that I will definitely use such as Google Docs. I love Google Docs because since we were introduced to that I have sworn off powerpoint. It is so much easier to use Google Docs because you don't have to carry around a flash drive and hope that your presentation works. Google Docs is right on the Internet. I also love it because in powerpoint you have to use their boring templates while in Google Docs yo can customize the backgrounds. I also really like Google Earth because that can definitely be used in the classroom to teach Geography. This class really opened up my eyes to all that we can teach our students through technology. Not only that, but it has made me realize how important teaching our students how to use technology will benefit them in the long run. We may not be that reliant on computers now, but we will be and it is great that there are classes like this to help educate the educators. There were so many more things that I learned from this class then I have time to list so I'll just sign off being thankful that I took this class.
