Reflection

This course has been helpful for me. I did not enjoy learning about technology integration before. I never really knew how I could apply it to my classrooms and make it interesting for my students. But I have learned about a lot of different softwares that I had not heard of before. They seem like they would help out and allow my students to have fun. I learned about all the benefits of using technology.
I have also learned about different issues that come about with technology integration in a classroom. The idea that classrooms could become online only is not one that I like. it makes me want to learn more and be there to prevent this. The classroom provided information on how to properly use technology in the classrooms in a way that will help the students, not teach them.
There were also discussions of the different teaching styles and other technical aspects of teaching- like requesting the useage of software and evaluating it.
I am glad that I have taken the class. It has taught be to be aware of the different technologies available and also know how to properly use them. I also think this class has helped me learn more about teaching in general- how to work with a classroom, lesson planning, and being aware of a students individual needs.
