Week 8

Summary of Class

Though this class was only a 8 week course, I do feel I have learned alot from this class. This has been one of my most enjoyable classes I have had. Before this class began, I always considered myself to be technologically literate and I have heard about blogs and wikis though I never worked with them. I was under the impression that blogs were used for journalists purposes and did not know much about them. This class not only taught me what blogs and wikis are, but how to create my own.

The Audacity for podcasts and Photostory 3 programs are ones I am sure I will use many times in the future and apply them to classroom activities when I begin teaching. I also learned a lot from the sites of the night links and other lesson content, such as gasbuddy, and I am sure many of the links are very suitable for a social studies classroom. Though there is so much more to technology than what was covered in this course, it did help prepare me and open my eyes to more technological possibilities in the classroom.
