Where has the time gone?

Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday I wrote my very first blog. I remember going through the settings and trying to figure out how to add labels. I can honestly say that I have learned a great deal of information from this course. I feel more confident in creating ways to incorporate technology into any subject, lesson, or activity. I believe that every teacher should be required to take an educational technology course. Technology plays a very important role and will continue to grow in the future. It is imperative that teachers keep up with the current trends and understand how to use it within the classroom. There are a variety of tools that I will be using within my learning space. Virtual Field Trips, Audioboom, Thinglink, Blogger, Digital Map Spaces, Web 2.0 tools, The Triple E Framework, and a host of much more. One of the main concepts that stood out to me was when we discussed active learning and how important active learning is to student attainment. Educational technology allows students to be a part of their learning experience. Students are able to write, read, and even speak using some applications. I also enjoyed participating in the education chats. It was great to connect with other educators and share ideas on various topics. In closing, this course has opened my mind up to new ideas. I’ve already started to use many Web 2.0 tools with the youth I’m currently working with. I plan to use more tools learned from this course in the future!
