After hearing the horror stories of people that had taken this class online, I am pleasantly relieved to find that the in class version is educational, functional and extremely successful from my point of view. This is the second technology related education class I have taken. The first technology class I took dealt with more of how to create videos, podcasts, blogs, websites and use a projector yet there was not much room for discussion. After being in this class for two months and being able to read and discuss about technologies that are being used in the class, technology safety and new ways for educating our future students it brings what I learned in that first class together and puts it into a much more clear and precise manner.
This class has taught me not to always think that technology in the classroom is only good or bad. It has also taught me that one must be fully equip and educated on how to use different technologies and what purposes they can serve. Lastly I have learned that there is a time and place for technology and there is a time and place for hands on old fashion teaching. What I have learned in this class will not only help me as a teacher, it will benefit my future students and myself as a student forever learning and increasing my knowledge.
