During the end of the year, when things were winding down and kids were winding up, who would have ever thought I could learn so much? By the time April rolls around, I'm always ready to start thinking about how I can make next year better. Considering that our middle school is going 1:1 next year, this course couldn't have come at a better time! Two weeks ago, however, I learned that I was being recommended for the position of Technology Integration Specialist for our corporation for next school year. Thank GOD I took this course! I have so many ideas floating around in my head that I was ready to try in my own classroom; now I will have the opportunity to share all of those ideas with EVERYONE in our corporation! What a great opportunity!
This course has broadened my perspective on what technology integration truly is, given me a taste of what tools are "out there" for teachers and students to use, and introduced me to a group of people to contact and bounce ideas off of when I need to...all of which are invaluable. Every module was designed to move my thinking a step further, and it worked. I'm really planning to spend some of my summer revisiting our course's content to help me prepare for next year. This course was truly "5 Stars" in my book, and I can't wait for Tech 101!
