This class was jammed pack full of information. It blows my mind to look back on everything I have done and learned. There is just so much technology out there that I never knew about. I am glad I took this course when I did because for my classes in the future I am going to have all of these resources. Another great thing I learned in this class is that there is so much FREE stuff out there for us teachers. Open Source for instance, will be very valuable to me in the long run.
I have two favorite resources I learned about in this class. The first one is Quia. I had so much fun with it! If a teacher wanted to he or she could use this site for every lesson or subject taught. I doubt I would do that because the students always enjoy something new, but seriously I cannot believe how fun it was. There are so many details you can change to fit exactly what you need it for.
My second favorite resource with Flickr. I can really see myself using this in the classroom. I think students would understand anything better if they had something to look at and this resource is just what I need to accomplish that. It keeps pictures organized and there are great ways to add to each picture. Each picture can almost be like a flashcard and they are a great way to study. I also think it would be a great idea to have students use Flickr as well. I mean why not??? It is out there for everyone to use and students could have fun with it.
The education world is really changing because of all the technology available. I can see myself using podcasts and possibly even having my students create podcasts. This class really opened my eyes to technology. I believe that I am adopting technology now, rather than adapting it. THANK YOU for sharing all of this information. I bet I use all of it and one point or another and I know I will use my two favorite resources.
