Like I said in my first blog post at the beginning of the semester, I believe that technology is the bridge between the teacher and the students but now I feel as though my support is stronger. This class has provided me with the tools necessary to search the world wide web and glean only the best possible resources and ideas for use in my classroom. Not only do I know how to find the resources but now I know how to save/store the resources for later review and, possibly, use.
I have also been exposed to many new technologies throughout the semester. Ipadio, delicious.com, wikis, web2.0, prezi, etc are all new to me. The way to test and see if I am truly excited about something is whether or not I tell my parents about whatever it is; I definitely told my parents about some of the technologies that I was shown in Instructional Technology class. I can see myself relying on the knowledge that I have gleaned in this class.
One of the things I like about technology is that it continues to change. There's never a dull day! And there are always new ways to meet the needs of children.
