Final Exam

I have to say that overall, I've learned so much from this class. Before this I thought I was doing a pretty good job of integrating technology into my teaching by just using videos and games. I see now that there is so many more tools out there that can be used. I think that even if I wasn't going to be teaching in a class where I know the students are going to have computer access, I think I could find ways to use some of these tools. That's a big step for me because I always felt so limited in what I could do (plus I just didn't know about a lot of this stuff).

My favorite parts are the social bookmarking, which I think I will be using A LOT, learning about wikis, and finding new tools that I didn't know about (OK there's not much I didn't like, especially now that I've had a chance to digest it all LOL). I still am a little overwhelmed by the blogging thing. There are so many! I have to try to remember to check my Google Reader more often because I do think there are some really good blogs. (How do you end up with a blog that so many people read? I just can't imagine people really wanting to read what I write.)

There's only one thing I would change about the course. I would move the social bookmarking part closer to the beginning. As we go through the course, we find so many useful websites that it would be nice to be able to bookmark them and see what others have found as we go.

I really am excited about what I've learned and I can't wait to find ways to fit it into my teaching!
