So far, this class has been very educational for me. I have learned many new tools to incorporate in my classroom. Truthfully, I am reluctant to “dive into” technology and explore, so being given some guidance on how to use it has given me some confidence that I can use it.
Challenges: The challenging part of this course is getting all the work done in the short time constraints of the class. Doing the projects are not overly difficult, however, learning to use technology and then using it effectively takes time, which we are short on. Luckily, I am staying on top of it.
Frustrating: The only frustrations I have are when the technology is not working or it’s operating slowly. I am impatient when it comes to the speed of things, especially when I am multi-tasking. I get frustrated quickly when the machines are being excessively slow and using up for of my time.
Rewarding: Every time I finish a project it’s very rewarding. I feel like I accomplished something that I can use in my classroom. My reflections also help me recognize success and how I can change my teaching in a positive way.
Aha!: I feel I have figured out new and interesting ways to get my students to produce final projects using different programs. I think they will be much more engaging for the students.
I would like to figure out to set up a chat for my students. I think that students like to discuss things online so they are not pressured to speak, especially ELL students.
