= CLASS REFLECTION  =

= Overall, I really enjoyed taking the summer class. I would have enjoyed having this class for a longer period of time. I believe that I am decent with modern technology, however, there was a lot I was exposed to within the short month of class instruction. I liked that we were introduced to different technology tools, but we were also encouraged and required to come up with final projects by using the tools. The personal wiki page is my absolute favorite assignment out of the few we had to complete. I enjoyed working on this assigment because we got to add a personal touch. I also liked this assignment because we now have all of our assignments organized in one specific location. Now we can always refer to the assignments we've completed. There are a few assigments that I have considered putting in my program portfolio. My least favorite assignment was the research paper. The research paper was only my least favorite assignment because we conducted a lot of research in such a short amount of time. After completing the paper, I came up with more Ideas I wish I would have discussed in the paper. The podcast activity was also another favorite of the assignments. I appreciated conducting the podcast because we had the opportunity to use an app from an ipad, and I hadn't previously thought about using apps for assignments. Although the webquest was the hardest assignment, I believe that it was so beneficial. I had no idea what a webquest was before starting the assignment. I now know that a webquest is a good way to motivate students and get them into research topics that tend to be considered dull. I have everything saved from the work we have completed in this class, and because of this, I feel confident that I will use several of the tools and technologies we learned about in five weeks. = = =
