Set Sail With Technology Week 9

REFLECTIONS

1. What did you like? What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?

I liked all the free websites and information that was brought to my attention. Most of the programs and websites that I have been shown were completely new to me. Those that I had heard of, I hadn't really ever taken the time to look into. My favorites were animoto, the atomic learning tutorials and the google programs such as iGoogle, Google Earth, and Scribble Maps.

2. What was your least favorite thing that you discovered?

I'm not sure if this counts, but learning how much time it will take me to truly become proficient in some of these programs was not such a good feeling. This being said, I'm going to make some time at home to learn more about the websites and programs I really feel would benefit my students the most.

3. How has this journey affected your views on technology?

This journey has just increased my previous opinion of knowing how much can be used out on the world wide web.

4. Were there any take-a-ways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?

Lots of great information but nothing surprising

5. What do you think you will be most likely to incorporate into your classroom/library?

The google programs mentioned earlier.

6. Can you describe your learning experiences in ONE WORD or ONE SENTENCE?

Overwhelming

7. What suggestions would you make to help us improve this experience?

I liked the experience. I loved that it was self paced. The instructions were fairly clear. I had a couple questions here and there but they were answered in a timely manner.

8. Now go and comment on some of the adventure’s blogs.

OK!!

  1. I agree that technology is overwhelming! When you think about the fact that we have just barely scrapped the surface of what is out there. I am glad that there are things you feel that you can incorporate into your classroom next year and even though I am not on your campus, I am only an email or phone call away. I will gladly help out any way I can.
    Good luck next year!
