Week 9 Thing 23 Last Reflection

This was the absolute BEST technology instruction. I have learned more useful technology skills with this wonderful format. Many times workshop instruction is not viable because the presenter is in a hurry to get the information across to many people and many of us feel rushed and overwhelmed. I have found that when I have been instructed by a techno savy person that they just assume you know what they are talking about and everytime they go ahead and just do what their teaching me to do and then I end up being clueless!
This on the other hand was GREAT instruction, others should learn from you!! I was able to work at my own pace and on my own time with out the pressure of instructors who feel that I wasn't getting it "fast enough". Not only did I actually learn EVERYTHING but I taught it to all of my students and another teacher and her class!! This not only helped me but gave me the confidence to help 40 kids and a teacher!
My students have become so much richer from this experience because they have actively learned to use glogster, our class blog, toondoodle, tagexdo, Edmodo, Go animate!, Animoto, Voki~avatars, wall wisher and more! These technology tools enhance my classroom lessons now, and they have certainly made my students excited about learning. I can't thank you enough for this absolutely amazing instruction! I hope you have more to come!!
