Technology this Semester

Walking into EDU 241, I felt as if I was technologically illiterate. I have improved my technology skills quite much in this class. I was super excited, and nervous, to find our we would learn how to create websites in this class. Looking back on my webpage and webquest, I am proud to know I created them from scratch. Knowing how to use Expressions will greatly help my career; I will now be able to create class webpages and webquests to incorporate 20th century learning into my future classroom. There are so many ways to use technology in the classroom, and this class sparked great ideas that I will carry with me into my career.
I wish we had spent more time on Access; this program highly confused me. Databases will be a great way to organize information about students, and I wish we would have spent more time on them.
Not only have I learned about technology in this class, but my confidence in using technology has increased. I am not as afraid of technology as I was at the beginning of this course- thank you Dr. Parker!
