This term of ICT has been an especially important learning experience in my education. I simply thought, to be honest, that this class would be strictly about how to use only computers in the classroom and only PC style computers and computer lab work. WAS I EVER WRONG!
There are so many different ways that technology can benefit us as the teachers, as well as our future phi students. Heck, it's actually benefitting us (students) a lot also. It's helping us create ePortfolios for our future careers, as well as help us better understand the advancement in technology and how it will play a huge role in our classrooms.
I have learned so much about different apps and products out there for technology, like 'Be Funky', Prezi, Weebly, Wordle, all of these things help to better ourselves as educators and make life easier for our students.
So, my feelings of his course in a nut shell; I absolutely loved it. Who knew that you could learn so much about technology in a short time? It clearly shows that there is a lot out there, and if we don't know everything, then what can our students know and what should they be knowing? It is our job as educators to embrace technology and what comes with it, we really don't have any other choice.
I am not always going to be pro technology, especially when it comes to Facebook, and some social networking sites, but I will always try my best to embrace it and always be encouraging when it comes to technology and my students. More importantly, I want to establish independence among my students, not have them be strictly dependent on technology, and I hope I can keep that within my philosophy.
