Learning Summary

When I first started Fundamentals of Technology for Educators, I didn’t think I would learn much that I did not already know in this course. I have a lot of experience with technology and use new technology in my job on a regular basis.
But I was happy to find that I learned so much in this course, especially new ways to use technology that I was already familiar with.

I am exited about using blogs and wikis with my students and this course has taught me ways to incorporate them in to the lessons I teach them in the library. In this technology age, I think it is important for students to learn how to be responsible with digital information. I have learned great ways to teach them the value of technology in learning and how it can make learning really fun.

As for myself, increasing my knowledge of services like Blogger and Diigo, and learning new ones like Prezi, has inspired me. I have already scheduled a date in January to have an in-service day for our teachers and teach them some of the great tools I have used in this course.

Finally, this course has taught me not to think that I already know everything I need to know about technology. There is always some new way to use technology.
