One word to describe this learning experience would be exhausting. Another would be Yay! I thought that taking this online class would be so much easier than sitting in workshops all day long. Granted, some days were a lot easier than others, but for me, someone who is not techologically advanced, it was very frustrating and tiring, and took more time than I wanted.
I did get a lot out of this class. There were meny things about technology that I've never heard of that now if I hear someone mention it, I can say, oh, yea, i know what you're talking about. I like the websites and tools that were shared. There are a lot of useful things that I can use in my classroom. I especailly liked the Kids Zone, KidPix Deluxe, and Photostory. I know there are ideas I would like to implement in my classroom this year.
I guess my least favorite thing to do for this class was the test. Trying to go back and remember how to use some of the other information was difficult and shows me that I'm still not very comfortable with technology. I'm getting there...slowly but surely.
You did it! Slow and steady wins the race. You should be so proud though. You did it and on your own. Things you have to teach yourself you remember. If you need help with implementation next year you know where to find me.
