The one thing I feel that I really gained from this class is that there are many ways to incorporate technology in the classroom, and that there are many different types of technology that can be used in a classroom. I also learned a new appreciation for why technology in the classroom is a good thing, and more so why it is important, because it really is the wave of the present and the future. Even the technologies that we find standard or even those that we use for entertainment, all of these types of technologies can be used to really enhance the way lessons are taught, and they are beneficial because students are gaining new and varied experiences using these technologies. Two specific types of technologies that I learned about and really have enjoyed in this class would be the wiki and the digital storytelling software. I think a class wiki would be a fantastic thing to have in any classroom as it is fun, relatively easy, and a great interactive way to keep in touch within the classroom. I like the idea of having students create a digital story in place of the many papers and written work they need to complete. Digital storytelling is more hands on, personal and creative, and will allow students with different talents to shine.
In the future I hope to really just learn more about the different softwares and technologies out there. I think it will be key to find technologies that will benefit children with special needs and/ or multiple intelligences.
