It's over? It's just beginning...

I want to thank you for providing this class. It was an amazing eye-opener to all of the tools that are available out there. the format was good, communication from the teachers was quick, I liked that it was self-paced (yeah, I know was one of those that was always behind!). I'm not sure that I can say what was my favorite. There is so much out there that's cool. I had a blast playing with all of the different generators. I bet I could spend way too much time playing there. I think that the only one that didn't float my boat was the wiki. I really struggled with that one. I would have to say that is the one that I don't feel comfortable with. I would have to spend quite a bit of time playing around with it before I would be comfortable utilizing it in my class. Maybe the wiki thing could be separated out into its own class? I can see its uses, but I don't think it is covered enough. I don't know. I just know it was tough. I can see using a blog, google calendar, and google docs pretty quickly though. I have wanted to implement technology in my classroom, but I've always had doubts about it, because most of my students don't have a computer at home. This class has shown me that I can implement some things without my students needing computers at home. I also believe that this class has opened my mind to some ideas on collaboration with my peers at North, as well as, across the district and beyond.
