In this course, I have learned a lot of applicable information in a very short amount of time. I like how the class learns and completes practical applications of new technologies that could definitely be used in the classroom. This method makes me more likely to actually use the technology in my own classroom. It also helps me build a portfolio for job interviews!
The technology I found the most useful so far would have to be the use of blogging. I really like the opportunities that blogs and discussion boards may present in a classroom. I feel that their interactive nature and their easy-to-use and easy-to-moderate format make using blogs very educationally friendly. It changes up the mundane and opens pedagogical doors. I would say that I have found every technology we have worked with thus far to be helpful and practical.
The most challenging technology I've worked with in this class would definitely have to be Photoshop. It is a complicated program with endless possibilities. I am very excited to continue to work with Photoshop in the future. It really adds the ability to be creative with digital images.
For the rest of the semester, I would like to continue to learn new technologies that I can use in my classroom. I would like to become better versed in MovieMaker and iMovie. I would also like to learn how to make interactive quizzes that can be scored on the computer instantaneously.
So far, I have learned a lot in the class and find it to be very interesting and applicable.
