Week # 8 - Where do we go from here?

          This semester I have learned many things that I will actually put in to practice when teaching!  What has made the biggest impact on me is the vast amount of free technology available that before this course, I didn’t know anything about!  Websites like wordle, igoogle, screencast, delicious and free online portfolios.  I realized how much I was stuck in a rut using the same technology and the same websites.    



         Because of this I will continue to pursue new online technology websites that I can use in my personal and professional life.  Another “aha” moment I experienced was, I can actually use this technology, fairly easily!  I tend to get frustrated when trying something new and give up easily because it’s not user friendly.  I found so much of this new technology to be very user friendly.  I will continue to use my blog.  I plan to create a new blog dedicated to Christian working women who are balancing work and home life.  Once I begin teaching, I plan to have a blog that will help my co-workers stay abreast of new technology they can use in their classrooms
