How did this course meet your expectations?

This class helped me figure out how I can properly use technology in the classroom to improve students knowledge as well as my own. It taught me about digital footprint and why that is important to know about before placing your information on the web. It has also widened my knowledge about how I can use technology to teach students that may have disabilities. The only suggestions I can come up with are making sure that big projects are placed at a different week from other classes that you may teach!

Did you meet your personal expectations during this course? Why or why not?

I think that I did meet personal expectations for this class. I have gained more perspective about how important computers are to classrooms and not just computers technology overall. Now that technology has entered classrooms the amount of things that can be taught in school has no limits.

What was your favorite tech tool you used or learned about during the course or during your observations?

I really enjoy using padlet. It gives uniformity as well as showing creativity all at once. It has a wide range of variety that you can add to whatever project you are making

What did you learn in this course that you plan to implement in your future classroom?

Digital footprint had a impact on what I think about being online. In my future classroom I will teach about that and make sure that all of my students understand that web security and leaving you "footprint' is a real and important thing to learn while also learning about internet.
