week 11 course reflection


a. Coming into this course, what was your level of tech skill? Did you find it easy to adapt to the ways we used technology in this class? What was difficult for you? What was easy?
Coming into this class on a scale from 1-10 on a tech-saavy-ness I would have rated myself about a 7. I found it very easy to adapt to the technology in this class, and if I didn't understand it, by listening and following along I would quickly learn. The only thing really difficult for me was using a PC when I am used to using a Mac at home and work. Everything else was pretty easy to follow along and learn.
b. What have been your favorite activity/assignment in class so far and why?
I liked using pinterest as an assignment, I already knew how to use pinterest but I had no clue there was an education section of pinterest to explore. I also liked all the group work, even though it wasn't traditional group work, but all through the computer. I liked how we had open documents between partners.

c. Do you think you can easily incorporate your tech knowledge and skills into your role as a teacher? Out of all the tools we’ve  learned about so far this semester, which ones do you see using the most frequently as a teacher?
I definitely think I can use my tech knowledge in my future classroom! I plan to use Creative commons, and course tools.com for sure. BUT the biggest thing I learned about that I fell in love with is the google account. Having a drive, gmail, a blog, and a search engine all in one was amazing, and I plan to continue using it after class is over.
d. As we approach the final four weeks of the course, what do you want to know MORE about in Ed Tech? What are you still curious about?
What else can I do with google? Why google chrome?
 
e. Do you think your level of tech skill/knowledge has increased so far this semester? If so, how?
                            I think I learned a lot about how to use other resources to create lesson plans and ideas. that is the thing that changed the most for me.
