I learned many valuable things from this class. I most enjoyed learning how to make a website. I have always wanted to be able to do that and now I know a quick and easy way. I will definitely utilize a website when teaching in the field. I think it is an excellent way to relay information to the students. Among other things I really enjoyed making and editing videos for the public service announcement. I feel confident making videos for other purposes as well, including demonstrations for class or student performance for assessment purposes.
It was kind of frustrating at first to only be given short instructions and then be let loose on assignments. Now I appreciate it more than ever. The technology we used this semester is not all that complex. It just takes some time and tinkering to figure out most programs. It is not practical to expect someone to be at your beckon call to show you how to use every new program that comes out. I have a better appreciation for figuring things out on my own.
I have always enjoyed using technology, but I have never been proficient with any one thing by any means. After listening to all of the gospel insight presentations I am excited about what technology can do for the spreading of the gospel. I feel like so often we hear about the evils of technology, and the presentations were a weekly reminder of all of the good things that technology has to offer.
I plan to be a PE teacher, but I never even thought about using technology in a PE setting before this year. I was schooled in a non-technology setting for PE, and it will be interesting to integrate it into classroom learning for future students.
Thanks for a fun and useful class!!
