my experience in this class

1. in the beginning

1.1. i was really scared to take this class

1.2. i really didnt like technology beyond my cell phone and word/powerpoint

1.3. i was embarrassed because i knew so little about simple things in technology

1.4. i thought i could be a great teacher without all the technology.

2. #2

2.1. our first project had me so stressed out. i had to take time and just play and figure things out

2.2. mention what we learned about play

2.3. I realized that I can do this and i was ready to learn more.

3. #3

3.1. by the time our second project was on the way i realized that everything i loved about school "the traditional way" was still good teaching technology would just enhance it.

3.2. I also learned that technology is the future and we would be doing a disservice to our students not teaching them the skills they need for their technical future.

4. #4

4.1. I have learned how to correctly integrate technology into my assignments. By using the 3Es and the ISTE standards. I learned how to stay away from mindless engagement

5. #5

5.1. throughout this semester i realized that i am not afraid of technology anymore. I just need to play and figure things out on my own.

5.2. I really suprised myself by all the projects i was able to produce. I feel that i am more than prepared enough to keep my students engaged in their lessons

5.3. i feel that i can create fabulous lessons that incorporate the right kind of technology use that will help prepare my students for their tech savvy future
