Well the semester has finally come to a close. Reading through my previous posts I can say I enjoy what I am taking from this class. Especially after looking through my initial blog post on my expectations for the class. I went in to this class wanting to be better acquainted with technology and the different tools available to be used in the classroom. Prior to the class I had never created a website or used any of the Web 2.0 tools we worked with in class (excluding a very primitive form of Google Docs). This blog right here is the first time I have done anything with any sort of blog.
At the conclusion of this class I feel very confident in my ability to use a variety of web based tools to further enhance learning in the classroom. IBA's, IWB's, wikis, movies and so on will be great ways to keep learning fun and interesting for students. Without this class I would have zero preparation for the challenges the future classroom faces with the growing role of technology.
Teachers who have little experience with technology will face numerous challenges as the years pass. So many things have become easier or replaced thanks to technology. Now, after a semester in TPTE 486, I feel confident that as technology's role in classrooms continues to grow I will be fully prepared to adapt and work with it. I have a feeling that I will often be remembering the lessons learned in this class during my time as a teacher.
