Final Course Reflection by Alexis McMullin https://padlet.com/lexmcmullin/8001eanslkkg Technology in the Classroom en-us 2018-04-23 02:55:20 UTC 2018-04-23 03:13:19 UTC hello@padlet.com How did this course meet your expectations? Include specifics about what you learned from the course and any suggestions for improvement of the course. lexmcmullin https://padlet.com/lexmcmullin/8001eanslkkg/wish/254226991 This course met my expectations simply from just having to use many different tech tools. Previous to this course I thought I knew about many different tech tools but I soon realized that was not the case. I liked that every project required us to use a different tech tool because it really made me get outside of my comfort zone and really explore how to use it. One thing I learned in this course was how to incorporate technology into lesson plans. The IOA was a really helpful assignment for learning this because we have to create a lesson plan based on what we can find on the internet. I think that it is important to know how to integrate technology into lesson plans because as our society goes on we are more invested in technology and integrating it into the classrooms all around the world.]]> 2018-04-23 02:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lexmcmullin/8001eanslkkg/wish/254226991 Reflect on your expectations of yourself. Did you meet your personal expectations and/or how you could improve yourself? lexmcmullin https://padlet.com/lexmcmullin/8001eanslkkg/wish/254227864 I believe that this course required me to get out of my comfort zone a lot and I think that helped me grow not only as a student but as a future teacher. Besides learning more about technology tools I didn't have too many expectations for this course so I wouldn't say I did or didn't meet my personal expectations but I think that just knowing more about technology tools will be important for my teaching career. One thing I could improve on is how I integrate technology into the classroom. Over the course I think I've learned how to do more of it but I don't think it can be learned that fast, therefore I believe that that is something I could always improve on. ]]> 2018-04-23 03:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lexmcmullin/8001eanslkkg/wish/254227864 What are the implications of using technology in the classroom? lexmcmullin https://padlet.com/lexmcmullin/8001eanslkkg/wish/254228300 1.
