I was excited about this class before it began, because some of my associates took this class previously and they told me how excited they were about what they learned while taking this course. I didn’t realize how much I would be expected to learn so quickly. This course exposed me to so many resources, that I could envision myself sharing with teachers as a technology coach. Even though each week I was challenged to learn how to use several new pieces of software, the process helped me grow as a teacher and as a coach. Some of my favorites were Google Tour Builder, Adobe Spark, and Podcasting!!
I attended a meeting on the topic of equity led by members of a local board of education and I felt comfortable sharing my ideas during the meeting on how their goals on equity were not being met. After the meeting, I also shared with an administrator how she could use technology more efficiently to connect with her audience and get feedback from them and the greater community-at-large. My comments were well received. Integrating technology into my courses has always come naturally. This course will force me to step up my efforts as an educator after learning about how students can connect with people around the world and use programs to take on authentic roles to solve a problem. Now, I can provide more options and opportunities for my students. I really appreciate the resources that I learned about and the skills that I gained form this course.
