Lessons Learned

Although through taking this class, I’ve felt like I already have a pretty good handle on technology and how to incorporate it into my classroom, there’s also been a lot of resources and aspects of technology that I hadn’t thought about beforehand, that is useful for my future classes – for which I am appreciative. For example, the other day two friends and I were working on a project for another class, where we had to think of different ways of teaching a lesson, and in a couple of the scenarios, we used resources that we had learned about in Technology in the Classroom. I’ve also made a couple Prezi presentations and used them for projects in other classes. So, even though coming into the class, I wasn’t sure how applicative and practical this class was going to be, – coming from a generation who’s grown up with technology and is experienced in technology – and although there is content that we are already familiar with, I also feel that there are aspects of the class that are very helpful and informative. I also need to remember that even though I may feel like I have a handle on a subject, it is important for me to recognize and remember that there is always something new and useful I can learn – and not just in Technology in the Classroom, but in all aspects of my life.
