4.2. I learned how to use and utilize a class Wiki
4.2.1. I really appreciated learning how to use a Wiki and the collective spirit of learning it instills. I learned about so many different programs I had previously never heard of!
4.3. Briefly learned appropriate fair use examples of the Copyright law
4.3.1. I learned that Copyright law is much more difficult to understand.
4.3.2. I have previous experience with some Copyright law issues with musicals I've been in, but this lesson really made me aware of the legalities possible if one ignores Copyrights.
4.4. Introduced to Creative Commons licenses and how to find them and use them
4.4.1. I LOVE Creative Commons! I had never heard of the practice before and am SO excited to be able to utilize this knowledge in my lesson plans and with my students in the future!
4.5. Learned how to evaluate the merits of an educational technology to decide whether or not it would be a good fit for my classroom or lesson
4.5.1. This skill was very helpful to have a way to critically look at educational technologies and really analyze whether they are sound tools, or just extra fluff.
4.6. Discussed the importance of cohesive technology integration into lesson plans
4.6.1. It's not about putting as much technology into the lesson as possible, but rather utilizing technologies that will help better the existing lesson plan and enhance the material
4.7. Researched and learned about assistive technologies for the classroom
4.7.1. Before this class I had very little understanding of how important assistive technologies are and the importance of understanding their best use for student success
4.7.1.1. As a music teacher, I have had students with mobility issues before, but never students with significant vision or hearing impairments, this information is
4.7.1.2. This lesson plan allowed me to begin my journey toward the path of a more inclusive classroom
4.8. Cooperative learning tools
4.8.1. Engaging in cooperative learning is still somewhat uncomfortable for me outside of ensemble performance
4.8.1.1. Having to learn and utilize cooperative learning tools online was a welcome challenge that helped me become more comfortable with the elements of Google

4.9.1. I loved this assignment.
4.9.1.1. WebQuest: Musician' Dilemma: To Sample or Not

4.9.4. Even in adult learning/training, this is a useful, fun, educational technology tool!
4.10. Soft Structure Carriers
4.11. Technology Survey
4.11.1. Evaluating the technologies used in the various schools and organizations I have worked at or am currently working at was interesting
4.11.1.1. Interestingly enough, the organizations I have worked with had better access to current technology than the public schools I've taught at
4.11.1.1.1. This really speaks to the inequities in public education concerning technology. This is especially significant in communities with low socioeconomic means
4.11.1.2. Home Page - Hike it Baby
4.11.1.2.1. I work on the national board for this organization and the technology implemented throughout is top notch, especially considering it's a group focused on getting outdoors with your family
4.11.1.3. Babywearing International of Kitsap Peninsula
4.11.1.3.1. The second organization that I volunteer for. There is wonderful technology integration especially in the instruction of new baby wearers
4.11.1.3.2. Recently this organization has also really moved towards inclusion by adding different assistive technologies into their instruction and social media
4.12. Lesson Planning with technology
4.12.1. This lesson made me focus heavily on standards and integrating technology that is useful for a specific lesson
4.12.1.1. Lesson planning with technology seems overwhelming at first, but once you get the general pattern down, it tends to function very fluidly and is extremely helpful in reaching all students
