EdTech 571

What is the one thing about Educational Technology you will take with you from the course?

Something I will take with me from this course is the idea that technology can make a difference in the education of a person. It was interesting reading about the history of how technology went from barely supporting education to, in some cases, becoming a central form in the educational process. It seems that this transition came about because of the proven effectiveness of learning with technology.

As a classroom teacher, I am especially interested in information about integration of technology on a K-12 classroom and its impacts. In the assignments we completed in this course we looked through many current documents based on recent research in the field. I have already found some ways to apply the research and will be planning and implementing these ideas in my classroom as early as this fall.

Equipped with the knowledge that technology can make a difference in the education of students, I am excited to learn more and bring the information to my school district, fellow teachers and staff members, and use in my personal classroom.
