good bye everyone !

I have learned so much from this class and I would like to thank the teachers and my fellow classmates for everything!! I hope to keep in touch with everyone, but for now bye bye! Good luck to you all, and for the teachers I know this was a learning experience for you all as well good luck next semester!

FINAL BLOG

I have learned a lot from this EDM 310 class. Other than facebook, I did not utilize ANY thing we used in class, so it was a learning experience for me! I now know how to access and use everything we went over, and I plan to teach as much of to my future students. Thinking off the top of my head everything I can do now because of this class that I did not know before:
1. blog
2. gmail (documents)
3. vocaroo
4. podcast
5. presentations
6. create a tour with google earth
7. skyping!
and most of all independent learning!

Their are not many other things I would liked to have learned from this class. I am confident with what I have learned and sharing it with my future students. Actually I take that back I would have liked to learn how to use a smart board, because I know I will have one of those in my classroom and I know nothing about them! This class was very useful because technology is growing so much and people can not just get by with knowing what a computer is anymore, we have to actually learn how to use them, or we will be left behind! The only thing that I feel was challenging was my schedule compared with the work load I had little time to spend on my other classes (which I did not like) and the fact that I am not patient AT ALL with technology if it does not work the first time I do not want to mess with it anymore, so those were both things I have learned, and no I was never bored their was ALWAYS something to be doing! If I were to change anything about this course, it would be the layout of the projects. Maybe a little less on all the comments and more focus on the projects because that is where I learned the most. My technology Literate level is probably a medium, and to improve my level I plan to continue blogging and staying "up to date" with changes that go on.
